External Email - Use Caution        

Thanks Doug. The problem is that for some patients the lesion affects the
segmentation dramatically. For example I have one patient with a large
lesion in the right cerebellum which is partly in GM and partly in WM. If I
load the aseg file I see that a portion of the right cerebellar hemisphere
is assigned to the left cerebellar hemisphere (the right white matter is
also being assigned to the left hemisphere) and the whole cerebellum looks
distorted. I suppose there is no way to inform freesurfer about the lesion
during recon-all?
I followed the steps in the FsTutorials for the cerebral cortex, but how
can I do the same for the cerebellum patient? What is the recommended way
to fix a bad segmentation due to cerebellum lesions? Control points, white
matter edits, or something else?
