Hi Max,

It depends on what your results are. But, if you want to show atrophy in a cortical thickness study maybe you can grab a screenshot from QDEC. Look at group analisys tutorial in FreeSurfer Wiki.

For instance: http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/docs/LZ.freesurfer.groupanalysis.ppt

cheers,

Hi all,

I am relatively new to FreeSurfer and I am wondering if people have suggestions for how to display images of brains in my sample that will be meaningful to reviewers and readers? Right now the most meaningful results are depicted using scatter plots and regression lines, etc. but I would definitely like to put some actual images of the sample's brain's in the paper. It is about 90 brains with old patient with significant atrophy. I am just not familiar enough with the FreeSufer options to know what kinds of tools A) are available and B) would be appropriate for communicating the effect of a clinical variable on brain atrophy.

Many thanks for your time and suggestions! Sincerely, Max Gunther
