Dear FreeSurfers,
We are comparing two methods to measure the volume of a subcortical structure (our method and FreeSurfer). We want to compare them spatially, by doing a voxel-based analyses. We thought to isolate the structure from the aseg.mgh as well as our own structure. Then we smoothed both data sets. Now we are trying to convert the structure from our method to FreeSurfer space (256 x 256). Then, our plan was to put all the data of the structures of both methods all the subjects together (4D) and to run mri_glmfit (comparing method one with method two). Does this seems logically?
But, we were wondering how we should deal with the registration. Because this is in volume space, we cannot register it to the sphere. Registration to the fsaverage may not be very accuracte. Do you have any ideas how to solve this issue?
Thank you very much. Best
Heidi Jacobs
