Yea, not sure. It could be that the uptake in WM near the NAcc is somewhat less than average (GTM assumes constant throughout). If so, then the GTM would subtract too much from the NAcc in an attempt to remove the spill in from WM. This is more of a problem for amyoild and tau ligands because

External Email - Use Caution Thanks Doug. we double checked the registration with gtm.seg.mgz and it looks good. Also the uptake in Acc is not much smaller than other regions and is pretty similar on both hemispheres so we are not sure what could be causing this. Any suggestions

It may or may not be something that needs to be fixed. The PVC is just a linear model where the regression coefficients are the uptake in each ROI. As with any model, it adjusts the regression coefs to minimize the error in the fit. If some end up being less than zero when you really expect all
