Hi list,
I have performed a volumetric analysis of subcortical GM using FIRST tool. In addition, I need to include the hypothalamus assessment. Because hypothalamic segmentation is not included in FIRST package, I have separately performed a ROI-VBM analysis on hypothalamus. ROI of the each seven FIRST segmented volumes were also added in VBM analysis to correct hypothalamic results for multiple comparison.
What is your opinion about these steps?
Is possible to get from the ROI-VBM, the volume of the hypothalamus for each subject?
What do I do to avoid that hypothalamic results can be treated separately from the rest of the subcortical GM volumes?
Many thanks in advance.
