Thank great helps from the group. I have a related issue. In my images some 
gray matters at the top of medial wall is lass than 60, so that these small 
areas are not included in gray matter. This may be due to the shadow of RF 
coil. Can I fix it by either decrease the threshold of gray matter or manually 
include these small areas?
 
Thank you again,
 
Xin

usually it's because the bias field brings the gm too low, so if you find 
nearby white matter (that is *not* partial volumed) that is below 110, putting 
some control points there will also move the pial surface out a bit. Or the 
skull strip could have removed it. Or the topology fixer might have done 
something strange. This can be checked by looking at the ?h.orig.nofix surface 
and seeing if it is more accurate than the ?h.orig. If this is the case you'll 
need to identify and correct the topological defect in the wm.mgz volume. 
cheers,
Bruce

Hello, Group
I need to edit the pial surface. I learned to remove points with tkmedit from 
the tutorial. But how to add gray matter in the pial surface? 
1) If you have nothing where gray matter should be, then check brainmask.mgz, 
if this is missing gray matter, around where your problems occur edit the 
bainmask.mgz volume and pick up your reconstruction from there. (IIRC there is 
something in the tutorial about this) 2) If there is white matter where gray 
matter should be, be sure to to check nu.mgz and brainmask.mgz at the critical 
parts for too high intensity in the supposed gray matter. Either control points 
might helo (unlikely) or redoing the intensity correction (and then starting 
again from that point). At least for my data, acquired with surface coils, 
sub-optimal intensity correction is really annoying. 
ahoi & good luck
        Sebastian

Thank you in advance.
Xin
