Dear Free Surfer,
I was wondering if it was possible to analyse (surface-based morphometry and SPM) NOT brain scans. I am doing my PhD looking at how the shape of children's feet change as they get older (2-7 years old).
I will use a 3D scanner which will provide me with a mesh of triangles of the foot and I am considering to create average age group foot shapes and compare them using surface based morphometry and SPM. I will obviously have to create my own foot "atlas". I was wondering if this was possible in Free Surfer?
Please let me know if it is possible or if you have any suggestions if it is not.
Thank you.
Best Regards

Hi Matyas
it is possible, but will be a fair amount of work, probably including some c coding since many of our tools are brain-specific

Dear Bruce,
Thank you for your quick reply. I think that whatever software I am going to use, it will require some coding as most similar software are brain specific. I use Matlab on a regular basis, and am happy to learn c in order to complete this project. My ultimate aim is to create a software or adapt an existing one for use on feet, for podiatrist and researchers. I was wondering if you could give me some suggestions as to where to start this using Free Surfer?
Thank you.

Hi Matyas
we have online tutorials on our wiki and data you can download. Not sure how easy it will be though - a lot of what we do is brain specific Bruce
