That's an interesting approach. How do you get from cortical ROI to the 1st voxel of the WM?
Honestly, I have found that tracking
from/into cortical grey matter results in more error than useful information
(its easy to get pathways crossing sulci for example, if you combine partial
voluming with the fact that the principle diffusion direction in cortical
grey matter is oriented perpendicular to the cortical surface, and cortical
grey matter ROIs may be very close to brain rim voxels).
Could this simply be because of the nonlinear distortions between DTI and FreeSurfer input image? It could be several voxels in most of the brain.
Thanks,
