Hi Stefan
I'm not sure I have an answer for you, except to say that the VD is kind
of a grab-bag of areas that don't have much contrast in T1 images. The
borders are mostly based on geometry. You could certainly test
reproducibility, but accuracy for such a poorly defined thing might be
more difficult
cheers

Hello everyone
We are interested in measuring the dimensions of the ventral diencephalon as
part of a general metabolic study. We were wondering how accurate people
consider freesurfer to be at measuring this region currently? Although some
VDC freesurfer results have been published before (Goldman 2008) and look
promising, we are not aware of any cross-validation studies in this region
with freesurfer. We were wondering what other recommended
automated/semi-automated techniques/software packages (Apart from manual
tracing of course...) are available to help cross-validate morphological
findings in this region specifically?
greetings
