Dear Freesurfer Developers
I am doing an ROI--based amyloid PET scan analysis. I am following the steps from the PetSurfer wiki. I see instructions for how to do a cortical surface-based group analysis. I also see how to do a subcortical ROI-based analysis. However, I cannot find detailed instructions for performing a cortical ROI-based analysis.
This is how I think I should adapt the instructions from your subcortical ROI-based analysis instructions for cortical gray matter:
mri_vol2vol --mov $PET_DIR/$ID/gtmpvc.output/mgx.gm.nii.gz --reg $PET_DIR/$ID/gtmpvc.output/aux/bbpet2anat.lta --tal --talres 2 --o $PET_DIR/$ID/gtmpvc.output/gm.mni305.2mm.sm00.nii.gz
mri_fwhm --smooth-only --i $PET_DIR/$ID/gtmpvc.output/gm.mni305.2mm.sm00.nii.gz --fwhm 5 --o $PET_DIR/$ID/gtmpvc.output/gm.mni305.2mm.sm05.nii.gz --mask $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage/mri.2mm/brainmask.mgz
Can someone confirm or correct these commands? I am especially concerned that I have selected the wrong mask.
Thanks you! Warm regards,
