Hi Bruce,

It's version 5.1. Thanks for the suggestion about the second problem (surface not following wm). For the white matter hypointensity problem (surface follows wm volume, but wm is incorrect; this occurs in several places on multiple subjects), will we just have to delete this manually from wm.mgz in every case? I can upload a recon with the problem if this would help.

thanks,
Nicole

Hi Nicole

what version are you running? It's hard to diagnose from just the images. In general, if the surface doesn't follow the wm.mgz it means there was a topological defect that was corrected in that region. You can find it and fix it be editing the wm. If you can't find it, upload it and send us the coords you are looking at and we'll find it and show you.

cheers
Bruce

Hi all,
I've been having two variants of problems with wm.mgz, using version5.1. One
can be seen in the attached screenshot FI137 - areas that are not white
matter are designated as "white matter hypointensities" on wm.mgz, and
create problems with both surfaces. This has happened in a number of our
subjects, in multiple locations throughout each brain. Is this something we
just need to delete manually on each subject, or is there a more efficient
way to deal with this?

The second is seen in the screenshots of MP860 wm. An area that is not white
matter, and is not designated as white matter on wm.mgz, is still created as
a white matter surface. This hasn't happened as often as the above, but we
don't know how to get rid of an inaccurate wm surface if it's not on wm.mgz.

Thanks for your help,
Nicole
