External Email - Use Caution        

Hello everyone,

We have been utilizing freesurfer for our brain morphometry and processing pipelines, and have recently tested the samseg segmentation algorithm on a clinical cohort.

With respect to some regions, we currently prefer its results to the ones generated by the standard freesurfer segmentation algorithm. 

As SAMSEG only provides volume calculation (please correct me if I am wrong) and does not feature cortical thickness measurements,

I was wondering if the recon-all pipeline can be modified to utilize the samseg segmentation instead, and if so, which script(s) or chain of commands would be a good starting point to implement this.

Looking forward to your feedback,

Julian
