External Email - Use Caution Dear developers,
I am trying to clean up the extra dura left after skullstripping. Watershed parameter does not prove to be much helpful and when I try gcut I get the error below. In the archives I came across this exact problem before, https://secure-web.cisco.com/1JREA1RCtgfPRaolYsneD7S5EwcqlaqoCEQHN3rqgzcSwxBEjdNtgTr8t7ZOeDaAha0Kki9Kl1S34m3C6Y-Usou9I7zEqKMNDzHvMZUU9CWxfExUg2V9QXFmu7wru-gvNU9p_0-qFl574-z2_H2ltRBeIvPjgyfbdzlu-2nXXHbuwdJpOk3ZBgEfFIvqqlBRY5h9p1sT0tmkC0oP31-iURa7FriWfXrva0Ss4sLl-kYlXj76qX4w6wyvUzQNIGTEcHfXzX6izhG_r80Jd0VWRoRZPI27jFpnY8T_B3gYQ-pXDnJ_aGdI_hPWLPGxB5SIdSQjHYrr-cOw5EMpi31TwKw/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mail-archive.com%2Ffreesurfer%40nmr.mgh.harvard.edu%2Fmsg18797.html However, there was not an end solution available in the archived email exchange. I am not interested in cerebellum and am okay with cutting the cerebellum out of the brain mask as long as it does not interfere with being able to distinctly separate cortex from cerebellum in the following steps. From skullstripping tutorials, I have read that one should not start erasing cerebellum from the brainmask directly and was wondering if you could let me know why? In sum, are there important reasons to keep the cerebellum despite only being interested in analyzing the cortex? If not, could you please let me know what could be the reason for gcut's failure and if there is anyway to disable failure detection so I can see if the gcutted brain is usable? >> " rm -f brainmask.gcuts.mgz >> mri_gcut -110 -mult brainmask.auto.mgz T1.mgz brainmask.auto.mgz >> brainmask.gcuts.mgz >> >> INFO: Care must be taken to thoroughly inspect your data >> when using mri_gcut.
