[Freesurfer] Subcortical Structure Pial Line Exclusion

External Email - Use Caution

Hello Freesurfer Experts,

I think I may already know the answer to this, but just wanted to check in to be sure. I know that in general when checking the recon for a subject for pial and wm line correctness, that subcortical structure segmentation within those lines is not that important to correct. I was looking at a subject that looks to be be omitting subcortical structures from the pial line and persists for many slices. Is this something that needs to be corrected with wm edits or is this not to be worried about? I included some screenshots of the area.

Thanks!
