[Freesurfer] Interior white matter surfaces

2013-06-19 Thread Jason Reed
Dear FreeSurfer Experts,

I am attempting to construct surfaces that are 1, 2, 3, and 4 mm 
interior from the GM/WM boundary (?h.white). So going gradually deeper 
into white matter from the GM/WM boundary.  I have successfully used 
mris_fill to fill the ?h.white surface and mri_morphology to erode the 
resulting volume, but I'm not sure on the correct procedure to create 
the new surfaces.  Any advice or suggestions on tools with options to 
use will be greatly appreciated!

My eventual goal is to project coregistered DTI data onto these more 
interior white matter surfaces.

Thanks!
-Jason

Hi Jason

you could try using mris_expand with a negative # of millimeters. At 4mm 
you will lose a lot of the gyri and the procedure will probably fail, but 
for smaller amounts it should work (and is what we've done in the past). 
You can also use mris_distance_transform to compute the distance transform 
for the wm and use negative distances to find the distance into the 
interior

cheers
Bruce
