Dear Experts,
in most of my subjects the cortical parcellation with the Desikan-Killiany atlas is all fine. I am especially interested in the postcentral gyrus. In several of my participants there is a typical problem with the automatic parcellation in this region. About half the postcentral gyrus is parcellated correctly (the lower half), but the upper half is shifted to a posterior part of the brain and the upper half of the postcentral gyrus is parcellated as the precentral gyrus.
Attached you find a typical example, one hemisphere is parcellated correctly (left_hemisphere.jpg), the other one shows the problem (right_hemisphere.jpg). The postcentral gyrus is shown in red and the precentral gyrus in blue. The only difference that I can spot is in the anatomy of the superiorparietal and supramarginal regions. These regions are disconnected in the left hemisphere, but have a gyrus which connects them in the right hemisphere. May that cause the difference in the parcellations?
Yours pfannmoe
Hi pfannmoe
what version are you using? Could you download dev and try it out and see if it fixes your problem? I suspect it does
