Dear Freesurfer, I am concerned that I may not be processing the MEMPRAGE images to full take advantage of the T2* info in the multi-echos.
I have been separating each echo as 001.mgz, 002.mgz, 003.mgz & 004.mgz when using recon-all. This works well if motion exists in any of the individual echos. However of late, I have noticed a that a reference was made to the problem of losing T2* info by differential scaling in the archive if a particular file format "memprage_echo0.mgz" was not used. Here is the link to the archive note: http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg15303.html It has been hard to identify a difference between our standard MPRAGE images and the MEMPRAGE images (we currently collect both on our Siemens 3T 32 channel system). Am I processing the MEMPRAGE correctly? Thanks! -- <<•>>~<>~<<•>>~<>~<<•>>~<>~<<•>>~<>~<<•>>~<>~<<•>>~<>~<<•>>~<>~<<•>> Carl M.
