I think you need to add something like -FLAIRpial or -T2pial so it uses it (in
which case it will first normalize it), but hopefully someone else can confirm

Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] White matter normalization of FLAIR images
External Email - Use Caution
Dear Dr Bruce,
Thank you very much for your guidance.
I ran recon-all on a subject "test" using Freesurfer V6.0 and the following
command line is reported in the "recon-all.log":
/usr/local/freesurfer/6.0/bin/recon-all -all -qcache -i T1.nii.gz -flair
FLAIR.nii.gz -s test
When I search for normalization of flair, I only find how Freesurfer normalized
T1.
I searched for "nonmax_suppress" and it is not in the log file. I am just
wondering what I am doing wrong. Thanks again for any highlights about the
correct method to normalize FLAIR
Sincerely,
Hi JamesB
there is T2/FLAIR normalization in recon-all if you process it through there.
You can look for "nonmax_suppress" if you want to find the command line
cheers
Bruce

Dear Freesurfer experts,
We appreciate any advice or guidance from your community of professionals and
experts in the field about the issue below.
Thank you for your kindness.
Dear Freesurfer experts,
In order to normalize white matter intensity of T1 images and correct for bias
field. We do the following steps:
mri_convert T1.nii.gz T1.mgz
mri_nu_correct.mni --i T1.mgz --o T1_N3.mgz --n 2
mri_normalize -g 1 T1_N3.mgzT1_norm.mgz
mri_convert T1_norm.mgz T1_norm.nii.gz
We would like to apply bias field correction on FLAIR images then normalize
white matter intensity.
We tried N4biasfieldcorrection from ANTS but it didn't work as expected.
Reviewing documents about N4biasfieldcorrection we realize that the algorithm
has been developed to correct bias field correction in T1 not clear if it works
on FLAIR images.
Are the steps above valid for normalizing FLAIR images or can it only be
applied on T1 images? I would like to send a "recon-all.log" file that includes
the processing steps of FLAIR. Is there any link I can use to upload the file.
It gets rejected every time I send it due to size limitations.
We appreciate any feedback about the proper way to correct FLAIR images for
bias fields and normalize white matter intensity in FLAIR images.
Thank you
JamesB
