Hi! I meant that if the hippocampus was oversegmented (e.g., over the amygdala), you’d still have to paint new labels in those regions (as amygdala, in our example). You could use the Matlab functions under $FREESURFER_HOME/matlab (in particular MRIread and MRIwrite) to programmatically move the edits from aseg.mgz to wmparc.mgz. Cheers, /E

This has happened to a number of my subjects but I have finished editing the HC label in their aseg files. How would I copy the HC from aseg.mgz to wmparc.mgz? Can you clarify what you mean by "you still need to fix the surrounding labels"?

If it?s a single case you?re very interested in, I would edit both aseg.mgz and wmparc.mgz (you can copy the hippocampus from one into the other, but you still need to fix the surrounding labels).

I noticed that the alignment of the ?h.hippoSfLabels-T2.v10 output to the anatomical boundaries of the hippocampus in some of my subjects is off. For example, the left hippocampal subfield segmentation in one subject is superior and medial to the hippocampus. I checked the aseg.presurf file (since I am using v6.0) and indeed the whole left hippocampus is off. I saw in a previous thread (https://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg23942.html) that it was suggested to edit the hippocampal segmentation within the aseg file to potentially improve alignment of the subfield segmentation. However, a more recent post (https://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg54543.html) stated that both the wmparc.mgz and aseg.mgz files would need to be edited and that this was not recommended. Do you have any recommendations on how to move forward? I did edit the hippocampal segmentation within the aseg.presurf file in one of my subjects and reran the subfield segmentation command which substantially improved the output (i.e., it overlays on the hippocampus after correction). Would you suggest that I continue with editing the aseg using previously published protocols on segmenting the hippocampus by hand or would you recommend something else? Thanks in advance! Jenna
