NAME

mri_long_normalize

SYNOPSIS

mri__long_normalize <input vol> <base-tp file> <output vol>

DESCRIPTION

Normalize the white-matter, optionally based on control points. The input volume is converted into a new volume where white matter image values all range around 110.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

ArgumentExplanation
<input vol>input mri volume file
<output vol>output mri volume file

EXAMPLE 1

mri_normalize SUBJECT/mri/nu.mgz SUBJECT/mri/T1.mgz

Uses the nu volume (nonuniformity corrected volume), and creates the T1 volume, with white matter voxels around 110 image value

EXAMPLE 2

mri_long_normalize -aseg aseg.mgz -mask brainmask.mgz norm.mgz $SUBJECTS_DIR/bert_base/base-tps brain.mgz

Uses the norm volume, and creates the brain volume, making use of the aseg and masking with brainmask
