RE: brain masking, skull striping
Hi Martin,

I am also having a similar issue. The rest of DTIprep runs smoothly, but I keep getting brains that are not properly skull stripped. I am getting the following error message: 


Brain Mask

Brain Mask FSL
/Path/To/ImageMath
ImageMath cannot be started. 

Any ideas what issue this may be? Also, you mention that the ImageMath folder has to be before the paths of other tools - what do you mean by this? Does ImageMath need to be a directory above other tools?

Thank you for your help!

The Slicer brain masking is not the best (which is likely why there's still skull in the image,I assume that something was removed?). For the FSL option, our tool ImageMath is used. Unfortunately there are other tools that have also an ImageMath binary (e.g. ANTs or Rview), so you need to make sure that the path to DTIPrep's ImageMath folder has to be before the paths of the other tools.

I usually use bet with IDWI
