Hi:
1. For extra bet options sucj as -g the easy thing to do is to edit the
fsl/bin/siena script (or make a local copy) and find the _two_ calls to
bet and insert the option you want.
2. If you are still worried about dodgy tissue left in (which in siena
will probably have very little impact on the final values, particularly
when compared with the other various sources of "noise" in the whole
imaging and measurement process - see the paper) then you can check the
effect by manually editing and then re-running siena with the bet commands
commented out.
Cheers - hope this helps!
