Hi Elijah
no, we don't have the resources to document, test, distribute and support it. I wish we did
sorry Bruce

Hi Martin,I am also following this thread with interest. Is that multi-modal prototype you mentioned available in the next FS6.0?
Many thanks. Best Wishes, Elijah Navena Rebecca Lingum Wed, 18 May 2016 10:25:09 -0700Would any member of the FreeSurfer team be able to help with this question?
I would like to use the FreeSurfer software to delineate white matter hyperintensities. I have processed my T1 images using the recon-all command,
and in the aseg.stat file there is a value for WM hypointensities.
Is there an alternate stream/ FreeSurfer algorithm that exists for the processing of T2w FLAIR images for WM hyperintensities?
Thanks, Navena

Hi Navena,
I am the wrong person to answer questions about the WM lesion stream. I thin k the one that is available in FreeSurfer is only based on T1 images, but a prototype of a better stream exists, that can incorporate different modaliti es.
Best, Martin
P.S. Changed the subject, to reflect that this is not a longitudinal questio n any more.

Thank you kindly for your prompt response.
I am actually having difficulties with the delineation of White Matter Hyperintensities at a single time point. I apologize if my question is redundant and perhaps an answer to it is already mentioned elsewhere.
As it stands, I am finding it difficult to understand the exact "pipeline" o f commands necessary to perform this segmentation and accurate delineation of WMH. I have ran the recon -all command on my T1w images, but I suspect a pro per segmentation of WMH would require a T2w Flair (which I have). How do I go ab out combining the preprocessing data produced by FreeSurfer with my T2w images t o produce a WMH mask/volume/stats?
Any help on the matter is much appreciated!
Kindly, Navena Lingum

Hi Navena,
There is currently no dedicated stream for longitudinal WM abnormalities (in
the sense of joint estimation and modeling). You can, however, make use of t he longitudinal stream and it's increase reliability - e.g it is working in the
same space across time, which should help get more reliable estimates.
Best, Martin

My colleagues and I would like to use FreeSurfer to perform a longitudinal analysis of white matter hyperintensities. Is there an additional add-on for
the software to perform this analysis or can this analysis be performed usin g the recon-all command?
