1. No, we usually do wm edits/control points first as this can fix the
pial problems.
2. You can put control points in any voxel that is clearly WM with no other
tissue class partial-volumed into it. The intensity threshold depends on
the MR sequence, where you are in the brain and possible
pathology/developmental/aging effects

Dear FS team,
I have two questions regarding manuel editing. We were looking at
inter-rater reliability, but noticed it was not too high... However, during
editing we used different criteria. Therefore I would like to ask:
1. Does the order of pial correction, topological deficit, wm
corrections and control points editing matters? You seem to assume on your
website for instance that pial corrections would come before wm
corrections/control points, but is this necessarily the case?
2. When the wm intensity value is below 110, voxel inclusions might be
needed. On the website is written: “when you feel like there is wm
underneath you can add control points (…)”. How to make a decision on this
matter: based on sight or on wm intensity values?
For instance, often the WM values are either 0 or 80 or above... Would it be
good to assume that wm intensity values above 80 are actually wm, regardless
of how it visually would look like? Likewise, would it be good to assume
that areas where it says the wm intensity value is 0, that these areas are
actually not wm, regardless of whether it might look like wm? So,
basically, it is correct to make your decision only based on wm intensity
values?
Thank you for your reply.
Kind regards,
Caroline Beelen
