Thank you Antonin, however I am trying to move away from using landmarks and in general geometric morphometry.

I wonder if it is possible to read OBJ, PLY, WRL, STL, AOP, ASCII, Disney PTEX, E57, XYZRGB files in Freesurfer?

 

Thank you for your help!

Dear Matyas,

this (not brain-specific) R package will be maybe more suitable for your purpose:

https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/geomorph/index.html

I generally would recommend to rather look for packages used in community of anthropologists or evolutional biologists.

Hi Matyas

we have online tutorials on our wiki and data you can download. Not sure how easy it will be though - a lot of what we do is brain specific

Dear Bruce,

Thank you for your quick reply.  I think that whatever software I am going to 

use, it will require some coding as most similar software are brain specific.

I use Matlab on a regular basis, and am happy to learn c in order to complete 

this project. My ultimate aim is to create a software or adapt an existing one 

for use on feet, for podiatrist and researchers.

I was wondering if you could give me some suggestions as to where to start this 

using Free Surfer?

Thank you.

Best Regards

Hi Matyas

it is possible, but will be a fair amount of work, probably including some c 

coding since many of our tools are brain-specific

cheers

Dear Free Surfer,

I was wondering if it was possible to analyse (surface-based morphometry and 

SPM) NOT brain scans.

I am doing my PhD looking at how the shape of children’s feet change

as they get older (2-7 years old).

I will use a 3D scanner which will provide me with a mesh of triangles

of the foot and I am considering to create average age group foot

shapes and compare them using surface based morphometry and SPM.

I will obviously have to create my own foot ”atlas”. I was wondering

if this was possible in Free Surfer?

Please let me know if it is possible or if you have any suggestions if it is 

not.

Thank you.
