RE: [Freesurfer] mri_vol2surf help
if the borders are jagged you could dialate then erode the label on the surface in tksurfer. Tools-Labels-Dialate Selected Label Tools-Labels-Erode Selected Label this will also close any holes in the label. -- brian On Thu, 11 Aug 2005, Fornito, Alexander wrote: That worked thanks.
