Re: [Freesurfer] WM intensity normalization problem

Garth, I spoke too soon. Looking at the files in your mri/orig directory, 001.mgz is a structural, but 002.mgz appears to be an epi (partial brain), so the orig.mgz is a mix of the two (with the wacky intensity profile). You should delete 002.mgz and either just run with 001.mgz (which looks goo

Garth, I had a look at the subject in tkregister, and it is badly misaligned, in a way that explains the intensity normalization problem. Follow these instructions to correct it: http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/Talairach Also, I'll take a look at why our tal alignment code wa

Hi Garth, sorry, I don't understand. You can try running mri_normalize without the tal stuff by giving it -no1d (you can find the full command line in the scripts/recon-all.log file). If the tal is too far off it will cause the first step (the 1d part) of the normalization to fail. cheers, Bru

When I check the talairach.xfm using tkregister2 --mgz --s amcg_anat -- fstal --surf orig, it does not extend into the "darker" portion of the cortex and cuts short as if the cortex has been shaved off, but is only slightly off. In other areas, it looks very misaligned. It looks like possib

wow, I haven't seen that before. Can you check the talairach.xfm and see if it's correct? On Mon, 17 Aug 2009, Garth Coombs wrote: > Hi, > > I am running a patient of ours with some cortical degeneration through the > recon process and have run across an interesting problem. It appears as if >
