Hi everyone!
I'm currently a summer student working at a lab which uses Freesurfer to measure hippocampal volumes. I noticed that scanning the same patient first on a GE 3T (Multi-channel head coil) and then a GE 1.5T (single-channel head coil) 24 hours later resulted in a 30% increase in the left hippocampus volume and a 18% increase for the right hippocampus based on the values in aseg.stats. Can anyone please comment on this and explain the large discrepancies? Thanks!
