Question from the MR Physics peanut gallery: How are you defining/measuring SNR for the anatomical sequences? (Sticking to Siemens.) The way I think about this, if what you have are the dicoms from an mprage which was collected with a receiver array, acceleration and pre-scan normalization, the

[Freesurfer] multi-echo mprage

Hi All, I have some multi-echo mprage images from a sequence and protocol set up to emulate Andre's 2008 paper. What's are the "best-practices" for using data from this type of sequence in Freesurfer? Related side questions: I have used the suggested morphometry protocols on the FS wiki (1mm

A colleague has some mprage scans collected on a 3T sagittally 1mmx1mm in plane, 1.3mm thick. The SNR and CNR are pretty good. I figured I'd ping the list to see if anyone have any experience running scans with the slightly thickish voxels through the recon-all pipeline. Anything I ought to l

On most (all?) scanners TR is stored as an integer. For example, on siemens it's in microseconds and then stored as a long. (this is the value in the protocol, not the actual execution TR, but when/if there are no bugs, then this is correct). When you convert a long to float (single or double

Hi All, I have a very small set of patients and I would like to compare the volumes of subcortical structures and thickness across the cortex to those of a large normative set. I don't need all the underlying data, just means and standard deviations. Is such a set of measures available? Than
