Hi Jordan

Don't try to evaluate the accuracy of the thalamus label on the brain.mgz, use the norm instead. Lateral thalamus is heavily myelinated and many segmentations miss it since its contrast with the wm is low

Cheers

Hi,

I have a question about subcortical segmentations: there are a lot of places across subjects where the thalamus label seems to include white matter (images attached), am I right to think that this needs to corrected and is there any reason the program might do this so often?

Thanks,

Jordan Pierce
