Re: [Freesurfer] temporal lobe left out in pial surface - edits on brainmask.mgz or brain.finalsurfs.mgz?

2013-05-30 Thread Yizhou Ma
Hi all,

This is a follow-up on my question so that people can know what I've tried
and how it works. I added control points in the white matter and the
delineation of the temporal lobe has improved to a satisfying level. We
also find what Michael has suggested very interesting. But it seems that if
we change the parameters for certain subjects, we would have to rerun all
of the other subjects with the same set of parameters, which may not be
desirable at the moment.

Thanks for all the help,
Cherry

  Hi Chris,
 Thanks a lot. I agree that control points should actually only be put in
 white matter. I'm just not sure if I can expand the pial surface to a
 satisfactory extend if I only do edits in the white matter. It seems to
 me
 that the problem here is that the signal weakened in the lower part of
 the
 brain so that the gray matter doesn't have adequate intensity to be
 included
 in the pial surface (the values are around 30).
