Our tools
Structural MRI
FreeSurfer provides a full processing stream for structural MRI data, including:
- Skull stripping, B1 bias field correction, and gray-white matter segmentation
- Reconstruction of cortical surface models (gray-white boundary surface and pial surface)
- Labeling of regions on the cortical surface, as well as subcortical brain structures
- Nonlinear registration of the cortical surface of an individual with a stereotaxic atlas
- Statistical analysis of group morphometry differences
For more information, see:
- Recommended structural MRI acquisition protocols:
Troubleshooting
Manual Editing: see Edits and LongitudinalEdits for an overview and check the Tutorials for examples.
