Dear experts in Freesurfer,
I am doing analysis on hippocampus subfield and I'm wondering if I could obtain cortical thickness data from each segmentation? Thanks so much!
Best,
Ariel
Hi Ariel,
I second Bruce; we don't have a pipeline to directly measure the subfield thickness. We have, however, tried an indirect volumetric method to compute the thickness (http://nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/~koen/IglesiasNI2014.pdf, the "Experimental setup" section). It requires a (preferably soft) segmentation of each subfield, parameter tuning, and skeleton computation for reading the thickness values. So if you're willing to try it in spite of it not being so straightforward, I'm happy to share the tissue thickness measurement codes.
Best, Iman

no, not really
