Could I apply GM segmentation methods in normal T2WI?

With sct v.4.0.0.

Hi Madam/Sir,

I am a medical student and studying for SCT now. I have read some articles about T2*WI and SCT, however, I want to do some retrospective studies, and I only have T2WI and T1WI for these patients. I have read the protocols provided on the website but it didn’t mentioned whether I could use it. I’d like to know will it be possible to distinguish GM in these patients? My email address is zmzforever@pku.edu.cn. If you have any suggestions, please connect me.

Thanks for your work. Though this tool is hard to operate for a medical student, once I have installed and tried to run on docker, it is amazing. It can not be more useful for medical research. :slight_smile:

Sincerely,
Mavis.

Hi Mavis,

If you cannot visualize the GM with your naked eyes on your T1w and T2w images, then there is little chance that GM segmentation would work reliably.
