External Email - Use Caution

Hello,

One of my research studies, a retrospective Multiple Sclerosis (MS) study, is looking to conduct analyses on volumetric changes in brain MRI scans of MS patients during the course of their treatment. Specifically, it is looking for these items:

Overall brain volume change
Total lesion load
Cervical spine lesion
New MRI lesions
Asymmetrical atrophy between left and right hemispheres
Hippocampus
Thalamus
Basal ganglia
Prefrontal cortex
Cerebellum
Cortical GM

Each patient has approx. 10 MRI scans or so. Is this a doable project for FreeSurfer? Any recommendations on how to approach this with the software? Any help is appreciated as there is no one at my institution that could direct me with the appropriate steps.

Thanks,

Jessica
