7T spinal cord segmentation

Hi all,

I am working with 7T spinal cord data that is more challenging to process because of significant B1+ variations along the cord (it was acquired using an array of surface coils). Julien kindly worked with the data and came up with the following approach. I am posting the code (and resultant 7T segmentation) here so that it may be available as a resource for the SCT community.

Cheers,
