[MINC-users] Hyperintensities in T1 images

[Gabriel A. Devenyi]

Hi all,

I'm working with some data where the scan range is very large, and fat
deposits (in the neck) or the subject's shoulders have far higher
intensities than the brain tissue.

This breaks bestlinreg and similar "blur and register" types of methods.

Can anyone recommend a way to "tamp down" these high intensity regions?
(Note, I already tried cropping and the image size variation makes this
tedious to do manually).

Thanks!
