Re: [Freesurfer] Left and Right Vessels

Hi Mohammed

these are dark regions, usually in inferior pallidum/putamen. There intensity is different enough from gray matter that having it be a separate class helps us label them more accurately. They could also be lacunae and not vessels.

Hello Freesurfer experts,

In a study I found significant differences in the volume of the left and right vessels of the freesurfer atlas.

I wanted to know what regions are included in that ROI and if there are any known functions of these regions.

Thank you
