Hi Shane
not really - it totally depends on the size of the effect you are looking for. I would be *very* careful about partial volume effects though

Appreciate it Dr Bruce. Do you have guidelines for smoothing MD?
Dr Yendiki, I am trying to investigate whether cortical MD can be a marker of neurodegeneration. The idea is that during the early stages of a disease, cellular microstructure may breakdown before cortical thinning occurs. This results in "less" barriers against diffusion resulting in an increase of MD.

Hi Shane
you probably don't need cvs as it is more to extend the surface-based registration to the entire volume. Here you just need the surface-based registration I believe. Use mri_vol2surf to sample the FA onto the surface. After that it is identical to a thickness study

Thanks Dr Yendiki.
I am more interested to compare MD in grey matter regions by putting the
MD on the surface, and then do a glmfit type of comparisons. Is that OK? Would you recommend me
to smooth the data after spatial normalisation? I have also used the
mri_cvs_register as described on the tutorial.

Hi DTI Experts,
Is it sensible to do comparisons of MD on the cortex surface like a normal
cortical thickness comparisons between group? If the answer is yes, are there recommended on
smoothing ?
DT_RECON has been completed in Freesurfer.
Thank you.
