A 0 value usually indicates a bad or uninterpretable voxel which you would not
want to include in your analysis. You can, of course, by not pruning. But I
think you need to answer the question as to why the values are 0. Is 0
interpretable in this case?

External Email - Use Caution
Dear Doug,
I was wondering why the flag --prune is recommended (petsurfer website) when
creating a stacked pet file and during surface-smoothing. If I understood
correctly, this would set all vertices that are 0 in at least one subject to 0
("set vox to 0 unless all frames are non-zero")? In my non-pvc data, it seems
as though a lot of the surface-projected values are 0. Hence, when I perform a
surface-based regression between PET and a regressor and I use the --prune flag
during mri_concat, I don't get any results.
Thank you!
best regards
Julie
