FreeSurfer is a software package for analyzing and visualizing structural and functional neuroimaging data for cross-sectional or longitudinal studies. It was developed by the Computational Neuroimaging Laboratory of Athinoula A. Martinos Biomedical Imaging Center. FreeSurfer is the preferred structural MRI analysis software for human connectome projects.
FreeSurfer is a brain imaging software package developed by the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital for analyzing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan data. It is an important tool in functional brain mapping and facilitates the visualization of the functional regions of the highly folded cerebral cortex. It contains tools to conduct both volume based and surface based analysis, which primarily use the white matter surface. FreeSurfer includes tools for the reconstruction of topologically correct and geometrically accurate models of both the gray/white and pial surfaces, for measuring cortical thickness, surface area and folding, and for computing inter-subject registration based on the pattern of cortical folds. In addition, an automated labeling of 35 non-cortical regions is included in the package.
What is FreeSurfer?
FreeSurfer is an open source package for the analysis and visualization of structural, functional, and diffusion neuroimaging data from cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. It is developed by the Laboratory for Computational Neuroimaging at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging.
What does it include?
A full processing stream for MR imaging data that involves skull-stripping, bias field correction, registration, and anatomical segmentation as well as cortical surface reconstruction, registration, and parcellation. FreeSurfer also includes fMRI and diffusion tractography toolboxes, a robust visualization interface, utilities for statistical group analysis, and much more…
