v2.2.0

FastSurfer 2.2.0

Merry X-mas Release! Happy to be able to give to you a new and shiny FastSurfer release.

We highly recommend users to upgrade to this release as it fixes the eTIV issue (see #378) which has been around since FastSurfer v1.1.0. In mainly 3T datasets we had quite different eTIV values compared to FreeSurfer and for some datasets these were far too small (e.g. HCP).

What are the Highlights of this Release

• Fixes the issue with eTIV #378
• Better bias field correction
• Similar to FreeSurfer it uses the 1.5 T default atlas for Talairach registration (for eTIV estimation)
• If you use 3T images, pass the -3T flat to run_fastsurfer.sh
• Improved way to build docker images with build script to reuse intermediate build steps
• Support for batch processing with new brun_fastsurfer.sh and SLURM integration with srun_fastsurfer.sh scripts
• Bump dependencies
• Lots of minor updates to code
• Improved documentation

What's Next

• Hypothalamus sub-segmentation module
• Olfactory bulb segmentation module
• Improved corpus callosum and fornix segmentation
• Further improvements and updates of the surface pipeline (reduced memory consumption)
• As always, let us know via the issues if you find anything or have questions ...
