I have two follow up questions:
For the HA longitudinal stream, would it be fine to not drop bad aparc scans based on their subfield qc in the timept their in?
Also is there a longitudinal thalamic nuclei stream in development?

Dear Victor, That's a good question! We inform the estimation of the gray matter intensities with the median of the voxels segmented as GM in the main stream. Because the median is a robust statistic, the thalamic nucleia and hippocampal subfields should be fine. But yes, you're definitely better off QCing. Cheers, /Eugenio

Hi all,
From my understanding from the log files, the subfield segmentations (and in general the aparc.mgz) relies on the norm.mgz (which is based off the brainmask.mgz). What if hypothetically, you have a not so good segmentation of the cerebral cortex, but willing to individually qc the subfields for the hippo, amyg and thal to see whether they are worth including in an analysis? I don't know if you would inherently discard a subject in a subfield analysis if it has a bad cerebral cortex segmentation (e.g ring artifacts) since the subfield segmentation retrieves some sort of cerebral cortex measurement in its calculations
