Hi,susumu<BR>
Thanks for your advice. When I use the "thresholding" tool to define WM cortex boundary with ranging from 0.15-0.25, it appears many red points in the FA map to express the WM cortex. But I'm still confused with the sequence steps: 1.How to save the red point- labeled FA map? 2.how can I use the map to reconstruct the WM surface? 3.How can the reconstructed the WM surface be visualized? Many thanks!<BR> <BR>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I suggest to use RoiEditor. Load your FA map and use the "thresholding" or "region growing" tool to define the white matter - cortex boundary with FA = 0.15-0.25. This usually gives the good white matter surface.</SPAN></FONT></P>

Register it as one object and use "+-/x" button to use the object as "masking". This usually can clean up all the extra-cranial junks.</SPAN></FONT></P>
