Hi Carolina,

the yellow line represents the gray/white boundary, and so presumably should follow the bottom of the heterotopia. If it is large though, it may be difficult to obtain an accurate boundary since it breaks many of our assumptions (e.g. max thickness, sharp intensity gradient at gray/white border, ....)

 cheers,
Bruce

Hi Bruce,
Yes, it should be classified as a gray matter, if I save a point of an 
heterotopia in the tkmedit and then open it in tksurfer the point showed at the 
inflated surface
correspond to that point or to the projection of the heterotopia in the 
cortical surface?
what happen with these measures if sometimes the heterotopias are outlined by 
the yellow line and sometimes are not?
I don't know if I'm totally clear.

Thanks,

Best,

Carolina

      Hi Carolina,

      no, the aseg cortex/wm is not used for thickness or volume (it can be, 
but we don't recommend it). The surfaces are.  As for the heterotopias, I don't 
really
      know what a good output would be. It depends what you want to do with 
them. I guess they should be gray matter, no?

      Hi Bruce,thanks for your explanation.  I was thinking the the 
segmentation region is used to calculate cortical thickness, by the way, is
      it used for calculate something? such as the GM volumes? I want to know 
this to be sure if in some point I have to fix this. About the
      heterotopias, is a good output to have someones classified as WM, other 
as GM and sometimes are outlined by the yellow line and sometimes
      are not?

      Best regards,

      Carolina

           Hi Carolina,

           it looks mostly to me like the surfaces are in the right place (the 
yellow and red lines). Don't look at the colored overlay -
           that is the aseg voxel segmentation and not what we typically use 
for cortical morphometry. Only look at the yellow and red
           lines.


      cheers

                what format are the files in the archive in? They don't have an 
extension

                     Hi Carolina,

                     can you gzip it or use compression? Usually people can 
send a few images to the list.

                     cheers

                     Dear FS experts,
                     I'm trying to analyse a case of cortical dysplasia, but 
after recon-all I see some errors in tkmedit that I
           don't know what to edit. I found some
                errors
                     in cortical and
                     subcortical segmentation, I don't find in the failure mode 
presentation a way to solve this.
                     I saw the pial surface (yellow line) with acceptable 
accuracy but the GM (the red one) in some regions are
           misplaced (WM classified as GM and some
                GM not
                     classified (empty
                     color)) 
                     I tried to attached an image to illustrate the problem but 
I don't succeed, because the mailing list reject my
           email. How I can send you an image of
                     ~700kb?

                     Thanks a lot,

                     Carolina
