Hi Bruce, Thanks for your response. Just to clarify, I can run recon-all with the -i option and not create the 001.mgz file from mri_convert because recon-all will perform the conversion anyway? ________________________________________ From: freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu <freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> on behalf of Bruce Fischl <fis...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Sent: Thursday, March 8, 2018 1:37 PM To: Freesurfer support list Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] Question regarding recon-all
Hi Dan yes, we typically use -i and read in the dicoms directly, but you can do it for a nifti also. Or you could create the 001.mgz and not use it, but there is no reason to (it's just more work). cheers Bruce On Thu, 8 Mar 2018, Levitas, Daniel wrote: > > Hello, > > > I am running recon-all for the first time, and I am wondering when it is > proper to use the -i > option.
