Hi - I suggest you look at the images output to answer that! You might also see if you can output the VTK format outputs from bet and betsurf, as that might be a more accurate way of getting the surfaces into FreeSurfer, if they can handle that? Cheers.

Is that right? When yes, my question now is what or which value “happens” to the voxels in the bet algorithm? > > I appreciate any hint. > Thank you so much in advance. > > Best regards, > Alexander > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen M.
