Hi Eugenio,

Yes please give me some advice on the matlab commands for this since I
am not very familiar with matlab...

Cheers,

Jacky


Hi Jacky,
this is a good question, and unfortunately there isn't a great answer to it.
The volume is computed upong a probabilitic segmentation of the voxels that is
not written to disk (this is very similar to what happens with aseg.mgz and
aseg.stats). In order to properly update the volume estimates, you would have
to know the probability that the inpainted voxels belong to the brainstem as
estimated by the algorithm, which we don't currently write to disk.
Another option would be to toss the volumes given by the algorithm, and compute
new volumes for all cases and brainstem structures using the hard
segmentations. You would simply have to count the number of voxels labeled as
midbrain, pons, SCP and medulla for each subject. You can easily do this e.g.
with Matlab (let me know if you need help with this).
Cheers,
Eugenio

Subject: [Freesurfer] Manual correction for brainstem module

Hi freesurfer experts,

I have successfully run the brainstem module for some subjects. On visual
checking, I can see there are voxels with T1 hypointense lesions mislabelled as
non-brainstem tissue. I manually corrected them on the
brainstemSsLabels.v10.mgz on Freeview. Then how do I obtain this new corrected
volume of the brainstem substructures?

Thanks.

Regards,

Jacky
