For GM volume and thickness, you will certainly want to fix it. Given 
how big the PET voxels are, it might not be such a big deal for that. To 
fix it, you would edit the dura from the brain.finalsurfs.mgz and run 
recon-all with -autorecon-pial. This will fix aparc+aseg and re-generate 
the stats files.
