Hello Freesurfer developers,
I am attempting to build a brain age estimator with FreeSurfer output.
However, I am having some problems disentangling Freesurfer stats output. I
will be using only the Desikan-Killiany atlas cortical segmentation. I have
identified these files as useful:
aseg.stats -> subcortical segmentation features
lhaparc.stats -> DK cortical segmentation left hemisphere features
rhaparc.stats -> DK cortical segmentation right hemisphere features
lh.w-g.pct.stats -> DK cortical segmentation left hemisphere grey matter -
white matter contrast features
rh.w-g.pct.stats -> DK cortical segmentation right hemisphere grey matter -
white matter contrast features
wmparc.stats -> white matter close to DK cortical segmentation areas
features
However, I checked these two files too:
lh.curv.stats
rh.curv.stats
But I don't have a clear idea of the meaning of the features in those
files. For what I understand the features are the mean and standard
deviation of the white matter surface and the pial surface. However, these
measurements would be redundant if I include the features from
xhaparc.stats, wouldn't they?
Thanks for your help!
