Yes, same. Just FYI, the only "unstable" part of the 7.1.tracula.beta is the tracula part, everything else is from the stable release. But it would only make sense to use if you want to try out the newer features. From: freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu on

I would guess it is pretty important for a 12 channel also, although it depends on field strength and also needs a body coil transmit to be maximally effective. In general we use it whenever we can Cheers Bruce From: freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu On Behalf Of Glasser, Matthew Sent: T

I agree. The 8 channel coils can be trouble as they usually don’t have very good SNR at the vertex, so you are likely to see a lot of variance in the results in those regions Cheers Bruce From: freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu On Behalf Of Glasser, Matthew Sent: Thursday, September 17,

And more details about the study would also help. What field strength? Was the transmit coil a body coil? In the end though I’m not sure we are going to be able to give you an answer as it is an empirical question as to whether including them increases your variance more than it increases your p
