Hi Emily, I looked over these subjects. While a few of the flagged spots are not really problems, most of them are true inaccuracies. I think the underlying problem is that your data is pretty noisy and have some ringing. What kind of acq was it? Scanner, field strength, pulse seq? Was it acquired at 1mm resolution or was it resampled? It looks a little blurry to me. What are the subject characteristics? I don't think there is an easy way to fix it. This might not be fatal as the errors are probably randomly distributed across space. If you have a good number of subjects, then there might not be much of an effect on group maps.

Hi Doug,
Attached are the point sets for the 3 subjects. For some issues, I put a range of coordinate points. Let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks!

got em. can you send me coordinates (col, row,slice) where you are seeing the errors? You can also create a point set in FreeView (under File->New PointSet)

Hi Doug,
Great, thank you. I sent it to you via filedrop.

Hi Doug,
I definitely can. I cannot use FTP from this computer for some reason. Can I upload it via filedrop and should I send it to your email?
Thanks,
Emily

I'm a little surprised you are getting them so frequently. Can you upload a couple of subjects so I can take a look?

Hi Doug,
I am using V6.0.0 (x86_64) on Ubuntu. Should I not be getting these errors so often?

Hi Emily
it is a segmentation error, but it's a pretty small one. It will mess up the thickness in a region a few mm^2. You could fix it by editing the wm.mgz if you really care about that spot

Hi Doug,
Thank you for getting back to me. I've attached two images (Slice165 and Slice166) with an arrow pointing to the location. I am new at this, so maybe I am wrong and it is not a segmentation error.
I've also attached an additional image (Slice185) of what I think is a type of topological error that I often see multiple times in a subject. Is this a topological defect? If so, if it is only over 3 slices does it need to be corrected?
Thanks again,

sorry, what kind of errors? I could not really tell from the images what the problem was

Usually, it's over about 3-4 slices (in one view) and can be fixed, but I am finding multiple in almost every subject and therefore taking a lot of time to edit (and then once reprocessed new ones sometimes come up in different locations). I was wondering if these are normal to have, minor surface errors that do not necessarily need to be fixed. I have added images of an example below. Here are some of the values I get from aparc.stats for caudal middle frontal lh after manually editing: > > Surface area: > Original - 2500 mm^2 > Edited - 2532 mm^2 > > Grey volume: > Original - 1710 mm^3 > Edited - 1727 mm^3 > > Thickness avg > Original - 4455 mm std: 2.371 > Edited - 4445 mm std: 2.365 > > Although the thickness values only differ by 10 mm, we are a little concerned because the difference is not within the standard deviation. > > Please let me know if all of these errors should be edited or if it may be okay to keep the smaller segmentation/topological errors as they are. > > Thank you, > > Emily > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Freesurfer mailing list > Freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu
