hello freesurfer experts,
attached is an image drawn from the tutorial page. http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/WhiteMatterEdits i have circled 3 examples of what i am asking about
sometimes the gray matter surface (the red line) appears to include an area of membrane or something else that isn't brain. will this adversely affect the any of the measures in the region? what, if anything, should be done about it?
thank you, -eric cunningham
Hi Eric
yes, the bits of dura left around (your red circles) will make the thickness incorrect in those regions. If you want to fix it you can try the graph cuts skull stripping, or if you have a hires T2 or FLAIR we can typically refine the surfaces to avoid dura. As for the yellow arrow, I can't tell from a single slice if that is an error. Certainly the intensities look like gray matter, but it could be damaged white matter instead.
cheers Bruce

oh interesting! i'm not sure if it will apply to me, but how would one go about the hires T2 / FLAIR based refinement? thanks, -eric

Hi Eric
there's a flag in the always-soon-to-be-released 5.2 that will run it
