Hello Freesurfers
We are going to handle some subjects with stroke or subjects who receives a surgery to remove brain tumors.
I just wonder whether it is possible to use freesurfer for those subjects and how the surface registration is affected.
Best, Han
Hi Han, it depends on the size of the resection/stroke. For small ones it should be okay, but larger ones can require a lot of work (or be close to impossible).

Hi Bruce.
Thanks for your answer. What should I do for a larger one like removal of almost all of temporal lobe or prefrontal cortex. Modifying wm.mgz is not enough?
Best, Han.

probably not as you won't be able to reconstruct the correct topology if the defect is big enough
