Hi Bruce, 

Thank you for your reply. I am looking at differences in WM intensity, but am 
concerned that the intensity normalization will reduce tissue differences in 
addition to addressing inhomogeneity from the MRI. The WM is normalized to an 
average of 110, but is there any way to keep the variable intensity values for 
the WM? 

Thanks
Sabrina
