External Email - Use Caution
Hi Krystal,
Apologies for the delay in replying (grant deadline).
The lesion class in samseg is a bit special, as the internal lesion probabilities are thresholded (using the value passed on via the --threshold flag, or a default value 0.3 if you don't use that flag) to obtain the voxels labeled as 99 in the segmentation output. In contrast, the value in the .stats file is simply the sum (over all voxels) of those internal lesion probabilities.
If you want to inspect the impact of the exact threshold value on the number of voxels with label 99, you could run (as you did) samseg with the --save-posteriors flag to save the internal lesion probabilities (in yourSeg/posteriors/Lesions.mgz). Then you can play with mri_binarize and mri_segstats to obtain lesion volumes for different thresholds without having to re-run sameg anew.
Hope this helps,
Koen

I am testing out which threshold works the best for the image. As I tested 0.3 and 0.9, the lesion masks do show the difference but the measurement is the same. Please see below for your information:
Fig 1. Lesion.mgz with a threshold of 0.3 applied to FLAIR image
Fig 2. Lesions.mgz with a threshold of 0.7 applied to FLAIR image
Do the volume of lesions supposedly different with threshold adjustments?
The following code is what I used for running samseg:
run_samseg --input $FREESURFER_HOME/${i}.nii $FREESURFER_HOME/${i}_flair_reg.nii --pallidum-separate --lesion --lesion-mask-pattern 0 1 --threshold 0.7 --output $SUBJECTS_DIR/${i}_samsegOutput_thold0.7/ --save-posteriors --threads 8
Thank you for your attention.
Regards, Krystal
