Hello, I am working on comparing hand-drawn subcortical volumes to those output automatically by FreeSurfer. While reading about the segmentation process on the wiki, I came across this line:
"The final segmentation is based on both a subject-independent probabilistic atlas and subject-specific measured values. The atlas is built from a training set, i.e., a set of subjects whose brains (surfaces or volumes) have been labeled by hand. These labels are then mapped into a common space (Talairach space for volumes..." (http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FreeSurferAnalysisPipelineOverview) Because of the way we decided to delineate our ROI, we need to compare the shapes we defined in AFNI to those defined by this training set and output by FreeSurfer. I've been looking for more information about this probabilistic atlas, but I cannot find any more information about it. The only thing I found was the last line of this thread from the mail archives: Am 23.08.2011 um 04:03 schrieb Anthony Dick: > The subcortical segmentation identifies subcortical structures such as > thalamus, basal ganglia structures, hippocampus, amygdala, and > cerebellum.

Was the Mai atlas used to create the define the structures in the training set? Could you provide me with any more information regarding the training set?
