Hi, I usually re-process, to be on the safe side. But, the base run (and that is where you got stuck) is very similar to the cross sectional run, except for the beginning where the template image and maps are created, so if you passed that step, you should be able to treat is as you would with a c

[Freesurfer] signal loss in the orbitofrontal cortex

Dear FreeSurfers, in the FreeSurfer cortical parcellation procedure, a volume measure is calculated for the lateral orbitofrontal cortex and in my study population I indeed do find a significant group difference in the volumes of this region. However, there certainly is signal loss of the MR si

Hi Cindy, it depends on the bandwidth of the imaging sequence. We use multi-echo mprage to avoid this type of thing. Do the surfaces look accurate in these regions? I can imagine that it would affect thickness more than surface area. Have you checked which parameter dominates your volume chan

Hi Matt, you could use mri_surf2surf to map the fsaverage surface to any subject. We always avoid doing this as we want uniform sampling in the subject's space, and were willing to make the engineering more difficult to preserve this. cheers Bruce On Tue, 2 Mar 2010, Douglas N Greve wrote:
