Hi FreeSurfer Experts,
I'm attempting to QC the hippocampal/amygdala segmentation in FreeView. When looking at ?h.hippoAmygLabels-T1.v21.FS60.mgz I can see that a few subjects are either missing a mask of the anterior amygdaloid area (AAA) for a single hemisphere or the AAA is extremely small. However, in both circumstances the volumetric value for the AAA in the output (?h.amygNucVolumes-T1.v21.txt) looks normal. In the cases where no AAA mask is visible, if you check the box "Show existing labels only", the label "7010 Anterior-amygdaloid-area" does not even appear for that hemisphere.
AAA is the only structure where this is occurring. There are other structures (such as the medial nucleus) that appear small in FreeView, but still have a normal volumetric value. However, no other structure is completely missing.
Note: In all of these cases aseg looks fine. And T1s were processed using freesurfer-Darwin-OSX-stable-pub-v6.0.0-2beb96c, but we used freesurfer-darwin-macOS-7.1.0-20200511-813297b to run with hippocampal/amygdala segmentation (segmentHA_T1.sh).
Thank you for you time and help,
