Thank you Ashwati. This is very weird. Can you please send me a copy of the text files with the volumes for:

1. A single subject processed cross sectionally
2. The same subject process longitudinally

Cheers,

Subject: [Freesurfer] Longitudinal Hippocampal Subfields - negative subfield volume values

        External Email - Use Caution        

Dear FreeSurfer Developers,

I've run the longitudinal hippocampal subfield pipeline using the following command on freesurfer version 6.0:

longHippoSubfieldsT1.sh PAWS001_base_FS 

I received no errors and everything seems to have run fine. But on computing the subfields using the following command:

quantifyHippocampalSubfields.sh T1.long PAWS_longitudinalhipsubfields.txt

I noticed that all of subfields have negative volume values. I checked the individual text files within each subject's timepoint and indeed the output is showing negative volumes as shown below:

I have also tested the same subject and run the cross-sectional hippocampal subfield pipeline using the following command:

recon-all -s PAWS001_TP1_FS -hippocampal-subfields-T1

I received the following output with volumes:

I'm really not sure why the longitudinal pipeline is showing negative values. Could it be a Freesurfer version issue? Am I doing something wrong? It is especially mind-boggling since I receive no error and the command is running smoothly! Please help.

Thank you so much!!

Best regards,

Ashwati
