When processing images from patients with focal brain lesions (e.g. stroke, tumor
110+
resection), it is possible to provide a lesion mask to be used during spatial
111+
normalization to MNI-space. ANTs will use this mask to minimize warping of
112+
healthy tissue into damaged areas (or vice-versa). Lesion masks should be binary
113+
NIfTI images (damaged areas = 1, everywhere else = 0) in the same space and
114+
resolution as the T1 image, and follow the naming convention specified in
