Hi Bruce & surfers,
That's what I thought initially, but then I did edit the wm.mgz to remove topological defects, and re-ran the reconstruction from the 'fill' step, and this problem remains. I can't find a nearby defect in the wm.mgz volume to edit, but maybe there is something that isn't obvious to me.
I put up coronal, axial, and sagittal views of the problem area & neighborhood up at:
http://nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/~kdevaney/monkrecon/coronal_wm_defect.tif http://nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/~kdevaney/monkrecon/horizontal_wm_defect.tif http://nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/~kdevaney/monkrecon/sagittal_wm_defect.tif
Maybe there is a defect around this area which I'm not seeing? Otherwise, is there something else that I can do? Also, let me know if you'd like to check out the data, and I can put it somewhere accessible.
Thanks! Katie

Hi Katie,
looks like an incorrectly fixed topological defect. You need to edit the wm.mgz to remove the defect and rerun autorecon2-wm

Hello freesurfers,
I am running a reconstruction of a macaque in stabe4, and I am having a problem with the smooth white matter surface not following the wm boundary in the wm.mgz volume (please see attached for examples in the wm and T1 volumes).
The non-wm area included in the surface was never part of the wm volume, but I edited the other defects in wm.mgz and re-ran fill, tessellate, smooth1, inflate1, qsphere, fix, finalsurfs, smooth2, amd inflate2. Unsurprisingly, this problem persisted.
Is there anything that I can do to fix this?
Thanks! Katie
