I also use FS to identify subcortical atrophy with affected HD patients;
have you checked the aseg, as well as white & pial surfaces for accuracy? I
have found in some of my older data at lower resolution (1.5 T) that the
intensities do not differ much in subcortical regions and FS has problems
differentiating structures. If this is the issue, you can give FS intensity
priors to go on ... Have to ask list re: exact procedure/command lines for
this, as I have not experimented with this in my own data set as of yet.

Hop this helps,

Julie
