Re: [Freesurfer] Recon-all -bigventricles option : general use or not in Alzheimer cases ?

Hi Matthie

do you find that it doesn't work well without bigventricles? You just want to be sure that you process your data in the same way so there is no bias in the results. We have found that most early AD cases work fine without needing special flags. It's more for late stage AD or hydrocephalus and such.

Dear FreeSurfer experts,

My question is in the title. I'm working on Alzheimer case where most of the cases have large ventricles. Is it better in general use to apply -bigventricles option on all subjects (for homogeneous calculus or something like that...) or to distinct subtle cases of patients with not so big ventricles ?

Thanks in advance for helping !

Best regards,

Matthie
