Hi Mike
that's really strange. Are you sure you recreated the pial??? Can youdouble check time-stamps and such? And Euler number to make sure that it isthe same for white and pial? If that all looks right, upload the subjectand send me the command line you used for the rerunning and I'llinvestigate.
cheersBruce

Hi,We are seeing some instances where the pial surface is crossing over the white surface in the vicinity of the precuneus andlingual cortex, where there is only a thin strand of WM separating the GM from the lateral ventricle. In these cases, itappears that GM is getting labeled as "WM-hypointensities" in the aseg, and then assigned a value of 250 in the wm.mgz. So, wedeleted those erroneous values in the wm.mgz (changing them from 250 to 1). The resulting white surfaces following these editsare a much better reflection of where the white surface should be, but the pial surface still crosses over into the WM. Seeattached png's for examples in two subject, where there are both "PreWMedit" and "PostWMedit" snapshots for each of the twosubjects. (In each of the attached examples, the issue is on the left hemi -- i.e,. right side of the snapshot).My question is: Is there some other way that we are supposed to edit this? Or, having fixed the gross errors in the whitesurface, do we just have to accept the remaining inaccuracy in the pial surface. It's a fairly localized remaining error in thepial surface, but I'm puzzled how it ends up on the wrong side of the white surface to begin with.thanks,-MH--Michael Harms, Ph.D.-----------------------------------------------------------Conte Center for the Neuroscience of Mental DisordersWashington University School of MedicineDepartment of Psychiatry, Box 8134660 South Euclid Ave. Tel: 314-747-6173St. Louis, MO 63110 Email: mharms@wustl.edu________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________The materials in this message are private and may contain Protected Healthcare Information or other information of a sensitivenature.
