yes flirt did a good job registering brains to one another-- I just picked the "best" looking mouse brain we had and used that as the template to register all the other brains too---- I am quite new to the mouse DTI field as well, so this is just what I have been playing around with. As for skull stripping-- it's possible to use BET to skull strip mouse/rat data if you play around enough with the parameters and/or crop the brain. Fortunately my animals were quite dead and we just scanned the brain only-- so no need to skull strip! david 2009/5/4 WangPing <[log in to unmask]> > david, sorry, i am not sure if I understand correctly.
