Hi Roberto,
1. Yes, you can certainly do volume-based morphometry with FreeSurfer. 2. Neuroquant is a commercialization of one relatively small piece of FreeSurfer. None of the current developers of FreeSurfer have any financial interest in NeuroQuant

Hi, I'm at the very beginning with FreeSurfer. I found it when I was looking for software for brain segmentation and volume evaluation. I'm reading the tutorial and I tried to run a couple of patients. Someone told me that Freesurfer has not to do with volume based morphometry, but I don't understand exactly why (is it based on a different techniques but it has the same aim?). By the way I have two questions:
- can this software be applied to single patient cases if I have some
reference for different structures (for example hyppicampus)?
- has freesurfer some relation to a similar commercial software
called Neuroquant ? (I saw it at RSNA a couple of years ago and it looked like very similar).
Thanks
