To answer #2, You should definitely not mix them. For #1, the study has
not been done. In principle, FLAIR is better because T2 has both bright
and dark in the extra cerebrum whereas FLAIR has only dark. That said,
there might be other factors that could make FLAIR worse.

External Email - Use Caution
Dear FreeSurfer experts,
I have both T2 and FLAIR images for the majority of the subjects in my
study,
and I want to use them to improve pial surface reconstruction during
recon-all
as explained in [1].
My questions are:
1) In general, should I prefer FLAIR over T2, or the other way around?
2) Some subjects (< 10%) do not have a FLAIR image, and others do not
have a
T2. Do you think that it is fine to use FLAIR for some subjects, and
T2 for others, in the same study? We will perform manual QC after the
recon-all run and exclude bad quality images so I wanted to hear your
opinion.
Best,
VB
