Dear Bruce,
Some
subcortical structures seems to be
suboptimally segmented in our subjects. By looking at the original MRI
intesities and labels of the atlas subjects individually we may suspect that the segmentation of these structures were also suboptimal in the atlas subjects (so the
gca atlas is suboptimal), or it is rather related to some demographic/disease related differences between the training data and our subjects, and/or it is a segmentation algorithm related issue.
