[Freesurfer] gray matter volume of the entorhinal cortex

External Email - Use Caution

Dear Freesurfers,

gray matter volume of the entorhinal cortex (EC) can be obtained either in the ?h.aparc.stats or ?h.BA_exvivo.stats/?h.BA_exvivo.thresh.stats files. Considering that all our T1 images were manually edited on a slice-by-slice basis to correct pial surface misplacements and erroneous white matter segmentation, which volume measure of the EC would be more precise?

I assume that gray matter volume contained in ?h.BA_exvivo.thresh.stats were thresholded at a specific probability value (% of case overlapping). Which probability value was used? Is there a reference paper explaining how probabilistic maps of EC were built based on ex vivo MRI contrast?

Thank you in advance.

Best, Jose L. Cantero
