Hi,
I have a similar questionto the one listed below. After I edit brainmask.mgz and wm.mgz, my understanding was that I could run autorecon2-wm
and would not have to run autorecon2-pial because -wm will run everything else through the end of -autorecon2.
However, if brainmask.mgz is run at the end of autorecon1, don't I need to run autorecon1 again, since wm or contol point edits would alter the brainmask??
Thanks for help, Helen

"Hi Dana,
you can do autorecon2-cp and it will do both things (the wm comes after it in the stream anyway)

Hello everyone,
There is an image that needs white matter edits (editing voxels) as well as control points. I know the two commands I need to re-run are autorecon2-cp and autorecon2-wm. Can I do both kinds of edits and somehow combine the -cp and -wm commands, or do I need to do the control points first, re-run, and then do further white matter edits?
Thanks, Dana
Hi Helen, That's a good question. You don't have to start at autorecon1, however. When you run -autorecon2-wm or -autorecon2-pial one of the first steps is: mri_mask -T 5 brain.mgz brainmask.mgz brain.finalsurfs.mgz
which is changing the brain.finalsurfs.mgz to take into account the changes you made to the brainmask.mgz. Your edits are not lost. Allison
