[Freesurfer] Edits to longitudinal pial surface and aseg

Dear All, I wanted to check that corrections to a Long pial surface through edits to brainmask.mgz and brain.finalsurfs.manedit.mgz are followed by the command: recon-all -long tpN1 templateID -autorecon2-pial -autorecom3 Is this correct? Also, after editing the Long aseg.mgz to correct the vo

[Freesurfer] Visualising surfaces at different fractional depths

Hi experts, I've used the command mri_vol2surf with the --projfrac 0.5 flag to sample a volume halfway between the pial and white matter surfaces. I was wondering if there was a way to visualise where this surface lay on the volume? Ideally I'd like to show a figure with the pial, white and this

I'll leave the first question for Martin but it looks right to me (except for the typo in what should be "-autorecon3"). For the second one I think you want to rerun the mri_segstats and mris_anatomical_stats commands, which should be done by autorecon3 cheers Bruce On Mon, 20 Apr 2015, pras

Hi Kirstie you can do this with mris_expand. For example: mris_expand -thickness lh.white 0.5 lh.graymid will generate a surface halfway between white and pial. Using that surface to sample is probably a better method than using profrac, although I expect the differences will be small unless

Hi P, usually edits to surfaces should not be required in the long. The surfaces there get initialized from the base, so you need to make sure the base surface is as accurate as possible. Several edits also get transferred automatically from the cross sectional runs. See this http://freesurfe
