[Freesurfer] Frontal signal drop out

2012-01-23 Thread Mahinda Yogarajah
Dear Experts, Sorry if this is a repost, but I was not sure it got posted. I have a few subjects that I want to salvage and use where there appears to be significant signal inhomogeniety in the last few frontal slices (see T1.mgz in attached figure 1). Despite the use of control points (placed w

hmmm, could also be a low sensitivity region if the region around the eyes doesn't have coil coverage. I would try putting a line of control points in the white matter going from anterior and moving posteriorly until the drop-off is not that big (i.e. until the T1.mgz has voxels==110 in the whi

Dear Freesurfer Experts, Would it be easier to upload a typical example of the data I am trying to salvage, in order to get some hints on how I might proceed with this problem of loss of frontal signal drop off ? Thanks in advance. Mahinda On Thu, Feb 23, 2012 at 2:06 AM, Mahinda Yogarajah wro
