== MGH_MEMPRAGE == This multi-echo MPRAGE sequence has been optimised for use with FreeSurfer (more information can be found here http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FreeSurferWiki?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=FreeSurfer_Suggested_Morphometry_Protocols.pdf). The advantages of this sequence are also discussed in this paper http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18242102. This sequence is recommended for morphometry studies where time is limited, in particular if cortical thickness or cortical thickness and segmentation of other brain structures is the main interest. This is not a Siemens product sequence and consequently there are restrictions on its use, so please contact Marta Correia ( marta.correia@mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk ) if you'd like more information on this sequence. ||Description ||Multi-echo high resolution structural MRI (4 echoes) || ||Acquisition time ||6min 3s || ||Type ||3D || ||FOV ||256 mm x 256mm x 192mm || ||Matrix ||256 x 256 x 192 || ||Resolution ||1 mm isotropic || ||TR ||2530 ms || ||TI ||1200 ms || ||TE ||1.64 , 3.5 , 5.36 , 7.22 ms || ||Flip angle ||7 deg || ||Bandwidth ||651 Hz/Px || ||Parallel imaging ||GRAPPA <<BR>> Acceleration factor PE: 2 <<BR>> Reference lines PE: 32 || == MGH_MEFLASH == This FLASH protocol is recommended for whole-brain segmentation where all brain structures are labeled by FreeSurfer.

CBU default imaging sequences
Introductory note
The sequences shown on this page are meant to be used as guidelines, but they can be modified in order to meet the needs of your study. If you would like some advice on setting up your sequence, please contact Marta Correia ( marta.correia@mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk ).
If you want to double check what parameters were used for images already acquired, you can also look at the information from the DICOM headers, which SPM saves when converting to Nifti format. After DICOM conversion every folder has a dicom_headers.mat file. In Matlab:
>> load dicom_headers.mat >> DICOMHEADERS{1}will let you check the parameters for the images you've acquired.
