Hi Panos
it would certainly be possible to make that measurement, but it wouldn't tell you anything biologically interesting. Why would you want to do such a thing? It will reflect the (arbitrary) image slice orientation and not the brain.

Hi FS experts,
I was wondering whether it would be possible to measure the average cortical thickness at a specific slice (either axial, coronal, or sagittal). I read in Bruce's paper: "Measuring the thickness of the human cerebral cortex from magnetic resonance images" that "Measuring the thickness from the coronal slice at the point indicated by the green cross would result in an estimate in excess of 1 cm." Is that always the case, or has there been a way to bypass that issue?
Thank you for your time, Panos _______________________________________________ Freesurfer mailing list Freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/freesurfer
