Hi Iman,

 

That is extremely helpful, thank you very much (also the paper is a great read)!

 

Best,

Hi Panos,

 

You can do such a volumetric analysis using this toolbox:

 

Code:  MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "secure-web.cisco.com" claiming to be https://www.nitrc.org/projects/thickness

Paper:  MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "secure-web.cisco.com" claiming to be https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/hbm.20740

 

You can apply the MLI_thickness function to the gray matter (soft or binary) mask, which returns the layer thickness at each voxel (Thickness) and the distance of each voxel to the center of the layer (SkeletonDistance). Cortical depth would then be SkeletonDistance at the given voxel subtracted from half of Thickness (at the voxel, or preferably on the skeleton for better accuracy). A tutorial is included in the EXAMPLE file.

 

Best,

Iman

Subject: [Freesurfer] Cortical depth at each cortical voxel

 

Hi FS experts,

 

I was wondering whether there was a way to assign each cortical voxel within the T1w (volumetric) scan an index corresponding to its “cortical depth.” I have essentially taken the cortical ribbon .mgz file, assigned each cortical voxel a voxel ID, and wanted to associate each ID with its corresponding cortical depth. I would normally use the *h.sulc files but I didn’t think this would properly translate here since it’s a volumetric analysis.

 

Thank you in advance for your time and help!

 

Best

Panos
