Once you have the vertex number, you can get the MNI coordinate through
some combination of operations shown on this page
https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/CoordinateSystems
Getting the minimum vertex is a little trickier. I would probably load
the thickness into matlab, eg,
thickness = MRIread('lh.thickness.mgz'); % you can convert it to mgz
with mri_convert lh.thickness lh.thickness.mgz
Then load in the annot, eg,
[vertices label ctab] = read_annotation('lh.aparc.annot')
Then finding the minimum vertex in your ROI

External Email - Use Caution
Dear Experts,
I am looking for a way to extract information on the location (xyz
coordinates in MNI space) of a vertex with the lowest thickness value
within an ROI (label) for a group of subjects.
I have previously ran recon-all and qcache on the data.
Any insights will be welcome!
Thank you in advance and kind regards,
Olga Kepinska
