I'm not sure what you mean. The subfields are an ROI-based analysis. Are you saying you want to do a voxel-based analysis (without reference to ROIs)?

Hi there Freesurfer,
I am currently using freesurfer to take DTI metrics (FA, MD) from hippocampal subfields. At this point of my exploration with freesurfer, I am able to correctly register the hippocampal subfields and diffusion data, and obtain my FA values from the subfields. However, this is at the individual subject level.
I will eventually need to register all of my samples in the same space for me to do a group analysis. However I am unsure what the order of registration should be for this process to be feasible.
Does this order seem feasible for accurate analysis?
- recon-all all of my subjects
- dt_recon all of my subjects (one of the outputs is a registration
file, which has registered the DTI data to outputs of recon-all) 3) run the hippocampus segmentation command on all subjects (segmentHA_T1.sh) to obtain hippocampal subfield segmentation 4) register the segmentation file to the FA maps (output of dt_recon) using vol2subfield command 5) After creating a subfield-FA map for each subject, spatial normalize the samples onto the same space using *mri_vol2vol*
Thank you so much for taking the time reading my question. If there is a different method to spatially normalizing my datasets, or if there is a more optimal order of registration, I'd be happy to hear from you.
Thank you, M
