Recap of MGH contributions QDEC: GUI for group analysis of Freesurfer-processed subject data Combined volumetric and surface (CVS) registration
National Alliance for Medical Image Computing QDEC GUI for group analysis “Does the correlation between cortical thickness and age differ from zero?”
National Alliance for Medical Image Computing CVS registration Surface-based (2D) registration aligns cortical folds, but doesn’t apply to non- cortical structures. Volumetric (3D) registration applies to the entire brain but doesn’t align cortical folds. Solution: integrate them! Template FLIRT HAMMER CVS
