A, 38 individual sa-FSLDDMM hippocampal segmentations and a voxel-wise average were first generated for the subject. B, surfaces with corresponding vertices were created for each of the 38 segmentations and the average, using a previously developed template surface injection procedure.[35, 36] C, sum-of-squared errors between the average surface and each sa-FSLDDMM surface were calculated. D, Across all subjects, 14 sa-FSLDDMM maps consistently showed substantially larger error than others and were subsequently removed from further analysis. E, new average segmentation.
