Without having seen your FLAIR scans, I’d say probably not, but it’s an empirical question; give them a go! ;-)

Subject: [Freesurfer] Freesurfer v6.0: Using FLAIR for hippocampal subfields

External Email - Use Caution

Dear freesurfer experts,

I'm interested in doing subfield segmentations of the hippocampus in version 6.0. What I am specifically interested in, is that if I can expect better segmentations if I use a 1mm isotropic FLAIR series in addition to the 1mm isotropic T1 series, rather than using the T1 series alone.

Regards
