Dear Nima, Thanks for the interest in our work. I don’t know if I would advise trying to segment these small subregions from such thick slices. But if you are set on doing that, I would probably run SynthSR first, and work with the synthetic 1mm isotropic T1s. You can run SynthSR on the T1s and T2s and keep the output that works best. Cheers, /Eugenio

My available T1w and T2w scans both have 6 mm slice thickness and are anisotropic and I/m working with FreeSurfer 7.4.1. Given the slice thickness and anisotropy, is it advisable to use recon-all-clinical instead of the standard recon-all as a preprocessing step? I understand that the segmentation scripts depend on the subject having a full recon-all directory, but I’m unsure whether recon-all-clinical can serve as an alternative for this purpose or if the standard recon-all is strictly required for compatibility with the hippocampal segmentation pipeline. Would including the T2 scan be helpful if it has the same 6 mm slice thickness and anisotropic resolution as the T1? Thank you very much for your time and help. Best, Nima
