I have a question regarding editing the pial surface. Many times it includes bright spots, such as fat or vessels. Should I be editing this out? I'm pretty clear on getting rid of included dura, but if I spent the time to edit out every little bright spot, it would be pretty time intensive. Would leaving these little "extras" skew my data? Is there some balance I can strike when editing? Thanks!
