Hi Dr Greve,

I am using pet surfer to analyze suv images. I followed all the steps in wiki, 
I used the option mgx then I fed the images mgx.{ctxgm,subctxgm,gm} into 
surface based analysis for left and right hemispheres. I want to inquire about 
the sub cortical analysis.

1. I assume the analysis for sub cortical gray matter (i.e. using the images 
subctxgm) is volumetric. Is this correct?

2. Are the following steps correct for sub cortical gray matter analysis

mri_vol2vol --mov subctxgm.nii.gz --reg reg.dat --tal --talres 2 --talxfm 
talairach.xfm --nearest --no-save-reg --o subctxgm.tal2mm.nii.gz

mri_mask subctxgm.tal2mm.nii.gz 
$FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage/mri.2mm/subcort.mask.mgz 
subctxgm.tal2mm_subc.nii.gz &

Concatenate all subjects together using mri_concat

smooth using mri_fwhm (what is the recommended smoothing for suv)?

 Then Group analysis:

mri_glmfit --y all.suvr.tal2mm.subc.sm10.nii --fsgd fsgd.dat --C contrast.mtx 
--glmdir dir

mri_glmfit-sim --glmdir dir --grf 1.3 pos --cwpvalthresh 0.0166

 for "mri_glmfit-sim"  in subcortical structure is the flag grf  correct or 
cache?

Thanks in advance!
John
