I don't think there is a command to do this. I'd probably do it in matlab. Info about the coordinates can be found here https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/CoordinateSystems Each mgz volume has a voxel-to-RAS matrix, if you invert that, and multiply your RAS you will get the column, row,

Hi Anna if you have dicoms that are T1-weighted and about 1mm isotropic (less than say 1.3mm in any direction), just give them to recon-all as input and it will essentially do everything in native space (and will take 12-20 hours depending on hardware/anatomy) cheers Bruce On Mon, 25 Apr 2

Hi Doug two aren't necessarily better than one. It depends on your coil/field strength and amount of motion. In particular, a coronal and a sagittal will have differential distortions that will blur the average. It might still help if your data is noisy - it's hard to say a priori, but somethi

Hello Freesurfer experts, We currently acquire two sagittal T1s (136 slices) in our protocol so that we can take advantage of freesurfer's motion correction algorithm; however, we would like to add a coronal T1 (196 slices). In order to cut down on scan time, we are also considering dropping on

thanks, I had forgotten. Is this 1.5T? I'm a bit concerned about the lack of contrast in addition to the noise. I guess decreasing the TE will help this, but you might also try a larger flip. 30 frequently gives us better T1 CNR than 20 (although it's further from the Ernst angle, and hence noi
