Hi Laurel and Johannes Satra Ghosh published a paper a few years ago using FS on pretty young subject's and found that at least the registration component was not biased by age: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20621657 Have you tried running your datasets to see how things work? I think

Hi Martin, There is no option to change the thickness of the label outlines right now. I’ll explore the possibilities to add an option for that. Best, Ruopeng > On Jul 9, 2018, at 7:21 AM, Loeffler, Martin > wrote: > >External Email - Use Caution > > Dear Bruce, > > thanks

[Freesurfer] questions regarding bias correction prior to Freesurfer processing

External Email - Use Caution Hello Freesurfer experts, Our current 3T T1s exhibit structural hyperintensities due to the inhomogeneity of the receiver coil, but not all scans have hyperintensity issues. The local MRI physicist suggests running N4BiasFieldCorrection through mul

Re: [Freesurfer] questions regarding bias correction prior to Freesurfer processing

Hi Stacey we recommend processing all of your subjects the same way. Do you understand why some would have a big bias field and some would not? It was always the same coil, wasn't it? cheers Bruce On Mon, 9 Jul 2018, STACEY M SCHAEFER wrote: External Email - Use Caution
