Dear Antonin,

I haven’t used CIVET myself, however, if I remember correctly it employs several metrics to estimate cortical thickness, referred to “Link”, “Laplace”, and “Average Near”. The latter one is a re-implementation of the one used in FreeSurfer. They are described and compared here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15588607.

Regarding differences between the pipelines it may be easiest to have a look here: http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/ServicesSoftware/CIVET-2-1-0-Table-of-Contents and especially at the references.

Best, Falk

Dear Trisanna,

thank you for the reference. However, I did not find any specific information in this paper what specific methods are used in CIVET and what is the difference in implementation between CIVET and FreeSurfer.

Antonin

I believe the cortical thickness measures are taken slightly differently.

This paper might offer some insights.

Dear Zhiquiang,

as a regular user of FreeSurfer I am wondering, what is the advantage of

using Civet instead of FreeSurfer?

Are there some functionalities in Civet which are not available in

FreeSurfer?

Or does Civet offer better performance/accuracy/precision in estimation of

surface models for some situations/datasets?

Hello FreeSurfer Developers,

I am attempting to switch the Desikan-Killiany atlas of FreeSurfer to Civet.

But I have no idea to solve the problem. Would you like to give me some

suggestions or some detailed steps to help me accomplish the tasks ?

Best wishes,

Zhiqiang Sha
