Hi Jessica,
the 1.5t scan looks kind of washed out and low contrast, but of course
it's hard to tell from an image. The 3T looks much crisper. Were the
sequence parameters matched? I'm not sure what you're trying to show with
this. The 3T multi-channel scan will have a much, much higher SNR than the
1.5T single channel, so the results will not at all be comparable.

Looking at the scans (attached, 3T on the left and 1.5T on the right, yellow
hippocampus), I think you've made a good point. More comments are much
appreciated, thanks!

This is not normal. Maybe you should check the aseg volume for
improper segmentation.

Hi everyone!
I'm currently a summer student working at a lab which uses
Freesurfer to measure hippocampal volumes. I noticed that
scanning the same patient first on a GE 3T (Multi-channel head
coil) and then a GE 1.5T (single-channel head coil) 24 hours
later resulted in a 30% increase in the left hippocampus volume
and a 18% increase for the right hippocampus based on the values
in aseg.stats. Can anyone please comment on this and explain
the large discrepancies? Thanks!
