Hi Susanne I don't know enough about FSL to tell you. If you change the orientation of the image so that our process of putting it in coronal slices ("conforming") changes, or you interpolate the image before giving it to recon-all it will certainly change the results a bit. ALso, when you send

GTM corrects for all ROIs, including WM and pons. The GTM is always run and so pons is always available for normalization. RBV is derived from the GTM so is also corrects in WM. MG does not correct in WM. On 01/15/2016 04:22 AM, Matthieu Vanhoutte wrote: > Dear Douglas, > > If I understand well

The pial surface is the boundary between the gray matter and the tissue on the outside of the brain. It is not gray matter itself. If you want a mask of cortical gray matter, then use mri_label2vol --seg ribbon.mgz ..., then binarize the output of that to give you cortical GM. On 01/15/2016 1

I do not think it is easy to solve the problem, because often it is unknown were the exact GM/WM border is in the lesion. Manual editing may introduce a bias to the CT, so probably it is better to leave it as a limitation of the method. Best, Martijn Van: freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.h

In that case it may be better to apply some form of GM lesion filling. Studies have shown that (at least in FAST and SPM) WM lesions affect the GM segmentation throughout the brain (i.e. Chard et al, Gelinau-Morel et al, Battaglini et al) – and I have the feeling that the same is true for FreeS
