Alan- I believe the label "hippocampus" here refers to the remaining hippo segment after the algorithm has completed labelling of all subfields. In essence this would not be a measure that conveys very meaningful info.

Hi Koen and FreeSurfers:
I have a 3T dataset that has undergone processing using 5.1. I have also run the Hippo sub fields command. Here are my results:
[root@NeuroImage-Gamma mri]# kvlQuantifyPosteriorProbabilityImages $FREESURFER_HOME/data/GEMS/compressionLookupTable.txt posterior_right_* posterior_Right-Hippocampus.mgz
volumeInVoxels: right_CA1: 2473.34 right_CA2-3: 7530.08 right_CA4-DG: 4160.99 right_fimbria: 520.14 right_hippocampal_fissure: 376.772 right_presubiculum: 2780.65 right_subiculum: 4230.04 Right-Hippocampus: 2277.69
My question is : Since these are "subfields" of the Hippocampus, should not the sum of all subregions be equal the volume of the Right Hippocampus?
Thanks so much!
