Note: this functionality is currently only available in the development version of !FreeSurfer. Rather than directly contacting the author, please post your questions on this module to the !FreeSurfer [[FreeSurferSupport|mailing list]].

== 1. Overview ==

This wiki page still a work-in-progress.

== 2. Installation ==

We offer two ways of run !SynthStrip: within !FreeSurfer or as a standalone command-line tool.

'''''Within !FreeSurfer:''''' As of March 14 2022, SynthStrip is available in the dev (nightly) !FreeSurfer distributions and will be included in the upcoming !FreeSurfer v7.3 release.

'''''Standalone Utility:''''' Coming soon! /* If you do not want to install an entire !FreeSurfer distribution to run !SynthStrip, you can install a singular, pre-built macOS or linux !SynthStrip executable. To do this, download the maxOS or linux file from this source. */

== 3. Usage ==

Once installed, you can run !SynthStrip with the following:

{{{
synthstrip -i <input> -o <stripped>
}}}

In this command, `<input>` represents the path to the input image and `<stripped>` is the skull-stripped output. To also save the corresponding brain mask, the `-m` command line flag can be used to specify the mask output path. For additional options and command description, please use the `--help` flag. For the large majority of images with voxel sizes near 1 mm^3, !SynthStrip should run in less than 1 minute on the CPU. As image size (or resolution) increases, this runtime might increase as well.

== 4. Evaluation Dataset ==

In the SynthStrip publication, we gather a large test set, from a collection of public datasets, that spans across acquisition type, age, and health. We plan to make this subset of images, along with ground-truth brain mask labels, available for download in the near future.
