Dear FreeSurfer people,

I have a problem creating a picture with my FreeSurfer volumetric data, for which I have been using 3D Slicer. First, let me explain what I am trying to do. We have a list with cortical and subcortical grey matter areas that were significantly different between our patient and control group. I want to make one picture showing all these areas, and the 3D model as can be made with 3D Slicer with a part of the surface 'clipped out' would be perfect.

I tried to do this by loading the surfaces and parcellation map in Slicer. I could successfully load the volumes (mri.mgz, aseg.mgz) and the surfaces (lh.pial and rh.pial). But when I load the parcellation map (aparc.annot) as a scalar overlay for the already loaded model, slicer crashes.

I emailed the 3D slicer helpdesk with this problem, but I hope you might have some ideas as well. My question is if there is a way to fix this problem, and if not; if there's another way to get the type of picture I want?

I really hope you can help me, thanks in advance!

Kind regards, Laura ________________________________
