Hi Brianna
if you upload a subject that is not doing well I'll take a look. Have you tried the -bigventricles flag?
cheers

Hi Bruce, I'm using v5.3.0. Does this version do well with patients with large 
ventricles? 
Two cases I ran seemed to do well with the ventricles, but some others seem to 
be running into some errors (which I
haven't had the time to work out yet). 
So in your opinion, to get our desired measures of total gray matter and 
ventricular volume, we would not need to
create our own atlas? 

Side question: Is there any literature on/do you happen to know what the margin 
of error for a measure like total
gray matter (taken from the aseg.stats header) is in Freesurfer?

Thanks, 
Brianna

      Hi Brianna

      yes, that would work (although you would use freeview or tkmedit).

      Why do you feel you need a new atlas? Our latest version does quite well, 
even on subjects with very
      very large ventricles. What version are you running?

      cheers

            Hi Bruce, Would be interested in an atlas for aseg that gives total 
gray matter and
            ventricle volume. 
            Would I be able to create an atlas based on these 30 patients with 
labeled volumes for just
            these measures? 
            Additionally, my understanding of creating an atlas is very 
rudimentary - would I begin the
            process by running
            recon-all on these 30 scans and then manually editing the 
segmentations using tksurfer? 

            Thanks again,
            Brianna

                  Hi Brianna

                  what kind of atlas do you mean? If one for creating the aseg 
you will need
                  to have labeled volumes for creating a new atlas

                  cheers
