I have both. In origin, the ROI-s are 2mm volume based .nii that I convert to FS .mgh with  register.dat I obtained with bbregister. 
-- In the case of label2label method I create the surface version with mri_vol2surf (and the correspondence is perfect), and then use mri_label2label in order to get the CT averages. 
-- In the case of surf2surf, I use the volume based .mgh with mri_preproc (mri_surf2surf)

thanks!

So you have ROIs in Colin27 space and you want to map them into your CT space and compute average CT intensities over them? Are the ROIs volume-based or surface-based?

Hi Doug,
many thanks for your answer, I try to detail it more:

1.- bbregister is registering two Colin27 brains. First one is a 2mm found in spm/canonical/single_subject_T1.nii, and second one is the FS_spm_Canonical found in SurfRend distribution. It was in .COR format and I run recon-all to have a modern version of it. As they are almost the same brain the registration matrix is quite simple and the registration was perfect. This way I had exactly the same ROI-s for Colin27 in SPM and in FS (it did not work that well for fsaverage, that's why I took this approach).

2.- In any case, I have several ROI-s in Colin27 space in FS, and then when I try to obtain average CT values from my subjects I use these 2 different approaches: label2label and surf2surf.
mri_anatomical_stats is run on the labels created by mri_label2label.


If you think it will be of help I can send the detailed command line calls,
thanks!
Gari

    Hi Gari, I'll need more information. I can't tell what you are doing.
    Eg, what is being registered with BBR? what is
    mris_anatomical_stats run
    on? Where does Colin27 come into it and why?
