Re: [Freesurfer] Longitudinal surface analysis of PET data

Hi Martin, Thank you for clarifications ! 1) What do you mean by "If, for some reason, the pet and MR (cross) are already very close in space" ? 2) How could it be possible to directly register to the long time point ? Since I use a rigid registration, the long time point T1 will not have been

Hi Matthieu, to clarify, you can directly register to the long time point. If, for some reason, the pet and MR (cross) are already very close in space, it may make sense to first register to that, then concatenate that transform with the one from cross to long and then map the PET there.

Dear Freesurfer's experts, I come back to you concerning questions of registrations. Since during the longitudinal process each --long subject directory has been registered onto the common --base template, shouldn't I: 1) Register PET data onto the subject cross-sectional directory (native

There is no such long process for PET. The idea is that you process the MRI in a longitudinal way, then sample the PET data onto the surface of the closest MRI time point. Then proceed in a way similar to the thickness analysis On 09/29/2016 11:08 AM, Matthieu Vanhoutte wrote: > Dear

Hi Matthieu, I never used PET data, but once you manage to resample you pet data onto the surface, you will have a file similar to the thickness file for each subjects. Instead of thickness it holds you PET information. From that point on everything should be identical to the thickness
