Thank you.
Yes, I mean, I can find in literature several methods
to estimate T1w and T2w lesion volumes. I guess the ones estimated from
FS are the sum of these non-wm- and wm- hypointensities values (and not
just wm-hypointensities), and are referred as T1w lesion volumes since
the segmentation was based on T1w images.
Usually in healthy subjects
nobody refers any value (in literature), so I suppose that authors just
ignore the fact that FS has estimates of this measure also for controls
(even if it's False Positive, or other reason).

wasn't expecting ("high") values in healthy subjects. Of course FS just
"sees" voxels, whether it's a lesion or other thing, but I was afraid it
would be some segmentation issue. I have also other MRI contrasts but I
really wanted to estimate possible T1w lesion volumes. That's why I
asked for some references, and to understand the difference between
"wm-hypointensities" and "non-WM-hypointensities". Should I sum both
when referring to "T1w lesion volume"? best regards Em 2016-02-11 17:30,

believe in recon-all. The labels are for damaged white matter and
damaged gray matter, which can be tough to distinguish based only a T1.
We have some (not-yet-distributed) tools that do pretty well on this if
you have other contrasts like T2/FLAIR/PD. cheers Bruce On Thu, 11 Feb

information regarding the meaning of "wm-hypointensities" and
"non-WM-hypointensities" variables from the aseg.stats file, ie, what
features are included in these variables and how FS computes them. I
checked previous posts that have the same issue I have now. I find some
non-zero, (some cases have "quite big") WM-hypointensities values for
healthy young brains. I find it odd. I would appreciate some additional
information about these issues. Thank you! Best regards,
