<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a question around skull stripping in ROIEditor.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Based on previous questions and attending the tutorial, I tried skull stripping my participants’ brains both manually and using the skull stripping tool in ROIEditor – both with mixed results.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I find that with the Seed Region Growing tool, it seems to include a lot of non-brain when I apply the threshold (and when I increase the threshold, there are lots of ‘holes’ in the ROI that I have to fix manually, and even then it doesn’t
always get rid of the non-brain).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I use the Skull Stripping tool, I don’t change many parameters – just change ‘Segment Downsample’ to 1 (as per a previous post). This has generally worked well but for one participant, it has stripped out a part in the middle of the
brain...<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope I have explained it alright. I would appreciate any advice for a consistent way to skull strip my data.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks very much!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kind regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
