  1. The surface generation errors (mean ± standard deviation; min-max) computed as a percentage of classified WM/GM voxels outside the WM/GM surface respectively are reported for both analysis strategies (with and without lesion filling). WM: White Matter; GM: Gray Matter; BL: baseline; Y3: follow-up after 3 years; Y6: follow-up after 6 years.
