The hippocampus is a heterogeneous structure consisting of subfields with distinct cytoarchitectonic and connectivity patterns. In order to capture the complexity of hippocampal structure, we propose a framework that combines the localized specificity of shape analysis with the microstructural sensitivity obtained with diffusion MRI models. The microstructure-mesh projection pipeline projects local model parameters within the hippocampus onto the surface to enable visualization and analysis of regional microstructural features. In a pediatric dataset, regional patterns of microstructural maturation within the hippocampus were observed.
