For a neuroimaging review I want to illustrate a number of brain regions from atlases rather than a statistical image.

My first impulse was to use fslview with the key regions (middle frontal gyrus, inferior frontal gyrus, some medial regions) from the harvard cortical atlas on MNI152. However these looked like... well, not so good. I had to turn up the transparency on the MNI underlay, the gyrus contrast was poor in FSLview, and the atlas region was shaded oddly depending on whether it seeped through the surface.

I tried afni surface rendering, but the MNI brains I had in afni format weren't suitable.

Next I tried MRIcro, which does a nice 3D surface rendering, but didn't have the atlases as convenient as FSLview (to my knowledge).

Does anyone know of an easy way to make a tool illustrate a subset of p
