External Email - Use Caution        

Dear Vale,

using the GUI of SPM you cannot get a FWHM of lower than 30. You have to save 
the batch to disk, load it in MATLAB and change the parameters to your liking. 
In case this sounds too complicated, you can use part of a reconstruction 
pipeline I have put together on Github. Just get the files from this folder: 
https://github.com/fluese/reconstructionPipeline/tree/master/processingPipeline/biasCorrection

To use it: SPM12 needs to be properly set up (e.g. added to MATLAB path), 
change the variables to your liking (either by creating a settings variable 
with the given structure or just hardcode it in the m-file), the variable 
filename should contain the path as well if the script is run from a different 
folder than the data is located at.

I haven't worked with MEMPRAGE data myself, so somebody else may chime in on 
that. However, the echoes should simply be combined by RMS 
(https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/UserContributions/FAQ#Q.Isitrecommendedthatpeopleusememprage.3FHowaretheyanalyzed.3FJustsqrtsumsqroftheechoes.3FOristheresomethingmoreelaborate.3F)
 and can for example be done using mri_concat 
(https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/mri_concat?highlight=%28memprage%29).
 Although I remember vaguely, that the combination of echoes was implemented 
somewhere else as well.

In case you have further questions, just let me know.

Best,
Falk

Betreff: [Freesurfer] bias correction on 7T MEMPRAGE

Dear Freesurfers,
I am trying to apply the bias correction on the 7T MEMPRAGE through the unified 
segmentation algorithm on SPM12, as a primary step to do the submillimetric 
recon on Freesurfer, as you suggested here:
https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/HighFieldRecon

For some reason, I cannot set the Bias FWHM to 18 on the SPM12 interface. Also, 
not sure how to use the 5D image that I obtain from the process.

Have you ever done this before? Any tips?

Thanks a lot,
Vale
