Dear FS experts,
I'm in the designing stage of a neuroimaging project on a 3T scanner, and I'm interested in looking at structural information on hippocampus (including subfields).
In addition to the MPRAGE or IR-SPGR, is it worth running a specific acquisition sequence geared to get the most out of all the hippocampus structural measures?
Thanks and regards,
Kev
Dear Kev, for the subfields, people have been acquiring T2 scans with high in-plane (coronal) resolution like the ones in this paper: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1820772/ The subfield atlas in FreeSurfer cannot handle such scans, but we will (hopefully soon) release a version that can. Kind regards, /Eugenio

Much appreciated Eugenio.
I had read a paper where authors report using a ultra high field scanner (7T - Cho Z-H, et al. J Psychiatr Res 2010; 44: 881–886), and I notice the reference you kindly provided uses a 4T scanner...
I presume using a 3T might be stretching things a bit, and I wonder whether future FS releases using T2-weighted images will "accept" 3T scans?
Best regards and thanks again for great support you guys provide,
Kev

Yes! If Im not mistaken, ADNI is acquiring this type of data on 3T platforms. Cheers Eugenio

Dear Eugenio,
I'm following up on this thread. After some discussion with the radiologist, some relevant questions have come up:
1. Is Freesurfer going to make use of both the T1 and the T2 sequences in the processing stream of hippocampal subfields?
2. If the answer is "yes" how important is that the T1 weighted and the T2 sequences are similar in terms on slice thickness (eg. both 1mm ISO), FOV, and other parameters?
Thanks,
Kev

Hi Kev, 1. It will able to use only the T1, only the T2, or both simultaneously. 2. The algorithm is relatively robust against these parameters. However, the higher the resolution and the lower the noise the better (as usual). Cheers, /Eugenio
