Hi Charlotte

have you visually inspected them? I would be more concerned about the # of voxels in wm which is way too low, but it looks like you eroded the wm mask, so maybe it's ok. Take a look at the surfaces over the data in tkmedit and see if it appears accurate in subjects like #8. The WM intensity won't be exactly 110, and is usually below it due to partial volume effects.

cheers

Dear Freesurfer users,

I run FS on my 670 subjects. All the scans were acquired on a 1.5T Philips
scan.
I noticed that my values in the WM are near 100-110 but not exactly 110. I
think it is a problem! Is it link to the 1.5T? How can I fix it?
I joined my log file of QA tools: could you help me to undertand the output?

wm-anat-snr results:

     SNR: Anatomical signal-to-noise ratio in white matter
     mWM: Mean white matter intensity value
     stdWM: Standard deviation of white matter intensity value
     voxWM: Total number of white matter voxels in eroded mask

I thought it can help me to quickly identify the subjects who didn't work
for this step. For example, the subject n°8 has a problem?


Thanks,
Charlotte
