This algorithm, which is still under the validation phase, locates the subject’s facial features and removes them without disturbing brain tissue. The algorithm was devised to work on T1-weighted structural MRI.
Process:
- Defacer produces a defaced structural image and an image of the applied mask.
- The code mri_deface produces a facial mask.
- The code mri_mask is then used to apply the mask to the original volume, resulting in a defaced structural image.
For images in other modalities, the mask can be co-registered to the image before application.
