Re: [Freesurfer] aseg.stats and aparc.stats reliability

Hi Jonathan

as far as we know, FreeSurfer is the most reliable and robust longitudinal brain morphometry tool that is publicly available. We are working to improve it (always!), but the answer to your question is yes, certainly 5.3 and the upcoming 6.0 are both excellent longitudinal tools Bruce

Hello Are the volume and thickness measures in FreeSurfer's aseg.stats and aparc.stats accurate and reliable enough to assess changes in volume and thickness longitudinally? I have heard there have been some accuracy/reliability issues in these files in older versions of FreeSurfer. Is the data in these files strong enough to base a publication on? Thanks! Jonathan
