[Freesurfer] Curvature differences between 7T and 3T images

External Email - Use Caution

Hello,

We are looking at some of our data acquired on a 7T magnet. We ran recon-all with the “highres” flag. The obtained results for cortical thickness and cortical volume are very comparable to data that we obtain when using 3 T brain images. However, the results for cortical curvature are significantly different from what we get by our 3 T data. I attach the output of mean cortical curvature values using the Destrieux atlas for a 3T and 7T dataset on healthy controls. As you can notice, they differ roughly by a factor of 2. Any explanation for what may cause this large difference?

Thanks,

Samuel
