Thanks Jim,

The segmentations look nice, though the head is slightly undersegmented in the right hippo.

You can barely discern the molecular layer so, even though the subfields surely carry useful information, they won’t be as precise as with a dedicated acquisition.

Cheers,

/Eugenio

Eugenio,

 

I have uploaded a dataset for you to review. The file is ‘chd_auck_Bs44_6yr_fs.zip’.

It was processed with the following command using FS 6.0.

The native resolution is 0.82x0.82x0.85mm

 

recon-all -s chd_auck_BS44_6yr_fs -i T1..dcm -hippocampal-subfields-T1 -hires -all -qcache

 

Jim

Thanks for the input Eugenio.

 

Could you review one of our submillimeter T1 datasets processed using FS6.0?

If yes, where can I upload to?

You can but recon-all will resize to 1mm isotropic and you’ll lose your submil resolution.

Of course, you could technically also use recon-all at 1mm, and then use the submil T1 as additional volume, but that’d be a bit inefficient…

Ok. Can you run -hippocampal-subfields-T1 without the -hires flag using a submillimeter T1?

Sorry, I’m not sure I follow. But, if you run recon-all with the hires flag, then you can just run –hippo-subfields-T1 and it’ll take advantage of the high resolution.

Yes the output appears ok.
I was under the impression there would be benefits from using the -hires flag with submillimeter T1s as input.

If you suggest not having to use the -hires flag in our case (because of little benefit from 0.8mm input compared to 1mm), I presume I can still use the -hippocampal-subfields-T1 option in the traditional recon-all -all stream?

Hi Jim,
>From my experience .8 isotropic is on the edge. Did you take a look at the output? You can always send us the data if you want us to take a look.

    Thanks. I ran several subjects that were native 0.82 x 0.82 x 0.85mm through the standard recon-all -all stream, with the -hires flag (but with no experts file). The volumes and surafces look good. Is there any need to be concerened with the output since I did not use an experts file?
