Superficial White Matter

This module samples superficial white matter intensities from a quantitative MRI in nativepro space. This is achieved by constructing a series of equivolumetric surfaces between the gray matter boundary and 3 mm below it following a laplacian field.

Superficial white matter surfaces are generated using scripts from the superficial-white-matter repository, available via GitHub by Jordan De Kraker.

Prerequisites 🖐🏼

You need to run -proc_structural, -proc_surf and -post_structural before this stage

  • Generate 3 equivolumetric SWM surfaces between the gray matter boundary and 3 mm below it.

  • Map qMRI SWM surfaces to fsLR-32k, fsLR-5k and fsaverage5.
