Re: [Freesurfer] Accounting for lesions misclassified as non-brain matter

I tried editing the apar.2009a.aseg vpolume using 77 to fill in the lesions, 
ran this code: recon-all -s ${subject} -autorecon2-cp this did not make any 
difference.

Subject: Accounting for lesions misclassified as non-brain matter

Hi there,
I am having an issue with stroke lesions that border onto the cortex being 
misclassfied by freesurfer. Often with lesions in this region the pial boudary 
gets dragged to surround the lesion, missing actual grey matter and 
inaccurately classifying the tissue.
The trouble is that every fix I can think of does nothing to impact this 
misclassification.
I have tried:
filling in the lesion on wm.mgz (pictured here)
filling it in with voxels set to 110 on brainmask.mgz
and filling it in with voxels set to 77 (wm hypointensities) on apar.mgz
yet still this problem persists. Are there any other fixes I can use to correct 
this issue?
Alternately if this issue can't be corrected should I expect it to impact my 
data much? These lesions typically occur in the insula, but I am only 
interested in quantifying primary motor and sensory areas, so will the 
estimation of volumes in these areas still be accurate?

Thanks for any insight anyone can provide!
- Jenn

Hi Jenn
have you tried filling the lesions on the aseg.mgz before creating the 
surfaces?
