Dear freesurfer users,

I have used freesurfer to segment hippocampal subfields. Then I used freeview to convert the derived .mgz files in .nii files for further analysis. I estimated the hippocampal subfields volumes with the command:

kvlQuantifyPosteriorProbabilityImages $ FREESURFER_HOME/ data/ GEMS/ compressionLookupTable.txt  posterior_right_* posterior_Right-Hippocampus.mgz

I have calculated the number of voxels in the converted .nii files using SPM and realized that they do not fit the estimated volumes through freesurfer
Example

for CA2-2
estimated voxel number though freesurfer:   6851
voxels found in .nii file: 15812

Did somebody had similar problems? Do you have any suggestion? Are there any incompatibilities between SPM and freesurfer? I did not find any apparent error in my counting script.
Thank you very much and regards,

Lorenzo Pasquini
