Re: [Freesurfer] In Qdec, what does the 'area' mean within 'Measure' menu in 'Design' tab

When mapping the area (or volume) to a target surface it assures that the sum of the area over all vertices of the target is equal to that of the source (conservation). The basic idea is that the area of a patch in the target space should be the area of the patch when mapped to the source

It will do it's best, how well depends on the size of the resection. FS it assuming that the input is an intact (though perhaps diseased) brain. Away from the resection, it will probably do ok. Near the resection, it will probably fail, but you can probably fix it manually. doug octavian lie
