Re: [Freesurfer] smoothing T1 images

Hi John

you can try mri_nlfilter if you like. It implement a nonlocal means/medians 
algorithm that I wrote in 1995 or so:


Bruce Fischl and Eric L. Schwartz. 
1999. Adaptive Nonlocal Filtering: A Fast Alternative to Anisotropic 
Diffusion for Image Enhancement. IEEE Trans. Pattern Anal. Mach. Intell. 
21, 1 (January 1999), 42-48. DOI=http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/34.745732


I'm not sure I would trust thickness estimates after nonlinear filtering, 
but it might help getting surface reconstructions and parcellations and 
such.


cheers

Hi FS experts,
I have T1 images with low quality (noise and artifacts). I am wondering if
smoothing these images, before runing the command "Recon-all", can help to
improve the segmentation and parcellation process for these images.
Thanks for any advice!
Bests,
