Hi Andrew
wow, that's pretty strange. The only thing I can think of that might
recover this is to put pairs of control points in the white matter, one
on either side of the boundary of your artifact. Or maybe it always affects
the same slices and you can scale them up? I guess it depends on how
variable it is
cheers

Hello Freesurfer experts,
I have a dataset in which there is an artifact affecting many subjects. The
problem is a greatly reduced signal at the top of the head. The images come
from a GE scanner and it appears to have been caused by a configuration
issue in the protocol. Sometimes this artifact impacts the cortical grey
matter, as in the attached screenshot (showing T1.mgz after this subject was
run through recon-all). In these cases the aseg.mgz is invalid in these
superior areas, as the mask does not extend into the signal dropout area.
I'm wondering if anyone has an idea for correcting this issue, perhaps by
adjusting parameters associated with Freesurfer's non-uniformity correction
steps.
Thanks much for any suggestions,
Andrew Davis
