[Freesurfer] Flattening the surface

Hello,

We have a volumetric data (mgz file) of a segmented brain region. We want to detect the surface of this segmented brain volume (i.e. deep brain region) and flatten it into a 2D image with its original surface texture.

We’ve noticed that Freesurfer supports an algorithm to flatten volumetric data. We wonder if this could be adapted to our data set. Can anyone offer some advice on how to apply FreeSurfer to this more generic task?

Thanks,
