Regional differences in thalamic volume are estimated by measuring the distances from homologous thalamic surface points (blue) to the central core (medial axis) of the individual's thalamic surface model (purple). Each surface point on the thalamus is thus assigned a radial distance measure to allow statistical comparisons of local surface contractions and expansions at equivalent surface locations between groups.
