Ana Get Spherical Cortical Surface


Compute a spherical mesh of the cortical surface

Description

This treatment yields a spherical mesh of the cortical surface for each hemisphere. This mesh corresponds to the grey/white interface. This mesh can be inflated for visualization purpose: (cf Ana Inflate Cortical Surface).

The underlying algorithm relies on a series of morphological transformations, warping a parallepipedic box in which the hemisphere is embedded. (cf Ana Compute Cortical Fold Arg).

Example:


Because of spatial resolution, partial volume effect can lead to erosion of thin gyri, especially in frontal and temporal lobes. In such cases, you can improve the result via oversampling of the data, or increase pressure inside the surface. The risk is the creation of small objects growing out of the correct surface.

The parameters (iteration and ratio) control the smoothing of the mesh, which consists in moving each mesh node toward the barycenter of its neighbors (ratio tunes the amplitude of this motion). Too much smoothing may oversmooth thin gyri.
