Hi Bruce,

So when I'm at this page, I am separating the different parts of the brain so that in the 3D view they show up as their own entity, and I am trying to individually save them. When I press the save button shown on the left hand side of the screen, it saves as a .vtk file, which makes it difficult to upload into matlab. Is there a way to convert this 3D brain piece as an .mgz file?

Thanks

What segmentation do you mean? Where are you getting vtk files? We write the segmentation into .mgz volumes such as aseg.mgz


Cheers
Bruce

So we were able to figure out how to segment the different parts of the brain using the bert sample, but have run into another problem. 
I would like to save each segmentation so that I can import it into matlab and create a matrix in order to create a mesh. The volume segment saves a as a .vtk file, which I don't know how to read into matlab. How can I save it as or convert it to a .mgz file so that I can import it into matlab?

Thanks!
