Re: [Freesurfer] inflation<-> area

Hi Lukas,

no metric properties are preserved as the inflation changes the gaussian curvature, so there must be some metric distortion. We do minimize it though, I think it's probably around 10-15%.

cheers, Bruce

Dear list members,

I wonder if during the inflation process "areas" are preserved. Or does inflation induces local deformations?

Best wishes,

Lukas
