Dear Matt! Thanks a lot. We do have both FLAIR and T2 -> so I could use the FLAIR for the clean-up procedure and use the T2 volumes for myelin part...
Best wishes, Luke Matt Glasser <m...@ma-tea.com> An 28.03.2013 15:37 Bruce Fischl <fis...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu>, <lukas.sch...@ukb.uni-bonn.de> Kopie <freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Thema Re: [Freesurfer] Incorporating (high resolution) T2- and FLAIR volumes I find the T2w image works well for removing dura and blood vessels, but I'm not sure FLAIR would work for T1w/T2w myelin mapping because of what would happen to the ratio near the pial surface. Instructions for T1w/T2w myelin mapping are available here: http://brainvis.wustl.edu/wiki/index.php/Caret:MyelinMaps One starts with FreeSurfer outputs. Bruce: do you guys have an unsmoothed group average grey/white map? We could do a quick comparison on fsaverage if you guys were interested. Peace, Matt.
