Dear all,
I'd like to measure some MR parameters in the thalamic nuclei. It is very laborious to draw cortical masks for the thalamic segmentation in each subject separately, so I am thinking in 2 options:
1, Using the thalamic connectivity atlas provided by FSL and register the nuclei maks into subject space.
2, Using cortical masks drawn in MNI space and register them into subject space for connectivity based thalamus segmentation.
Are they usable options?
Regarding the first option, is it accurate enough to use the registered standard space atlas masks for this purpose, or are there very big variation in the location of thalamic nuclei between subjects?
Thanks,
Gabor
