Hi Justin, It partly depends on what exactly you want when you say "brain volume". Do you want a measure of estimated intracranial volume (intended to be independent of atrophy)? A measure of gray matter + white matter + ventricles? Or only gray matter + white matter? Do you care whether the cerebellum is included or not?
