Dear FS team,
we are using Philips Achieva 3T scanner for acquiring our MRI data.
Our T1-weighted MRI protocol as follows:
- 3D T1 TFE coronal
- 0.5x0.5x1.0 voxel resolution
- FOV 240x240 mm
- TR/TE = 9.8/4.6 ms
- Spacing between slices: 0.5 mm
- NSA (=NEX=ACQ) = 1
- Bandwidth = 142 Hz/Px
In our most cases, we failed to good output for constructing cortical surfaces.
Most problems were from including dura mater portions into pial surfaces.
In the FreeSurfer wiki, I found the optimized MRI protocol using "3.0T Siemens 3D T1 MPRAGE" for FreeSurfer.
I would like know what are the recommended parameters for Philips 3T machine to acquire good quality of cortical surfaces.
I am wondering if you could give an idea of a sequence of Philips working well in FreeSurfer.
Thank you very much.
