Hi Doug,
Why Qdec offer "volume, area, thickness ,...etc " in the drop down
menu "measures"?
In this menu there are many measures and I understand that I can run
surface based analysis depending on the choice of this drop down menu.
Is this Correct? Please see attached. Thank you for any clarification
volume in this context is "surface volume". The volume at a vertex is
the volume of the triangles (truncated pyramids) adjacent to the vertex.
So you are still doing map-based analysis
I'm not sure I follow. If I understand, you are finding sig diff in
PCG volume when you extract it the volume value for each subject
(scaled by
etiv) and process in SPSS. The part I don't understand is what you are
doing with QDEC. I don't think QDEC can be used to test ROI volume.
