Thank you. Yes, I mean, I can find in literature several methods to estimate T1w and T2w lesion volumes. I guess the ones estimated from FS are the sum of these non-wm- and wm- hypointensities values (and not just wm-hypointensities), and are referred as T1w lesion volumes since the

Thank you for your reply. I just wasn't expecting ("high") values in healthy subjects. Of course FS just "sees" voxels, whether it's a lesion or other thing, but I was afraid it would be some segmentation issue. I have also other MRI contrasts but I really wanted to estimate possible T1w

It depends what you want. If you want total volume, then yes. They are typically false positives in young healthy subjects. Telling damaged white matter from say the superior-most aspect of the caudate is *very* hard on just a T1 On Sat, 13 Feb 2016, Otília wrote: Thank you for your reply.

you can turn this off with the -nowmsa flag I believe in recon-all. The labels are for damaged white matter and damaged gray matter, which can be tough to distinguish based only a T1. We have some (not-yet-distributed) tools that do pretty well on this if you have other contrasts like
