No, the last 3 columns (Min Max Range) are the minimum, maximum, and range (maximum - minimum) or the values in path.pd.nii.gz.

But it does look like mri_segstats can get you what you want, if you use a binarized version of path.pd.nii.gz. Use mri_binarize (possibly with a threshold, if you want to threshold the distribution) on path.pd.nii.gz, which will give you an output volume that has 1 inside and 0 outside the pathway. Then you run mri_segstats on that binarized volume. What you want (the volume of the pathway inside each structure) will be the sum of the 1's of the pathway inside each structure. Because mri_segstats doesn't give you the sum but it does give you the mean, you'll have to calculate the sum as the mean multiplied by the total number of voxels in the same structure. So column "Mean" multiplied by column "NVoxels" will give you the number of voxels in each structure that intersect the pathway.

Dear Anastasia,
yes I was referring to the last three columns. So for the last three columns
is it right what I told you? Is it the volume of the path?

      Hi Lucia - The columns "NVoxels Volume_mm3" in the mri_segstats
      output are the volumes of each of the structures in the
      aparc+aseg, so those columns have nothing to do with the path.
      The last few columns, "Mean StdDev Min Max Range", are related
      to the values in path.pd.nii.gz.

      Hope this helps,

            Dear Anastasia,


            I tried the command you suggested me and i obtained
            the output I attach to the mail.


            I would like to ask you if I understood well shot it
            means. In this case left uncinatus connects the
            following cortex areas:


            ctx-lh-fusiform

            ctx-lh-inferiortemporal

            ctx-lh-lateralorbitofrontal

            ctx-lh-medialorbitofrontal

            ctx-lh-middletemporal

            ctx-lh-rostralanteriorcingulate

            ctx-lh-superiortemporal

            ctx-lh-temporalpole

            ctx-lh-insula


            and for each area I have the volume of the path. Is
            it correct?


            Thanks

            Lucia

                  Hi Lucia - You can probably do that with
                  mri_segstats. Try something like:


                  mri_segstats --seg
                  dlabel/diff/aparc+aseg.bbr.nii.gz --ctab
                  $FREESURFER_HOME/FreeSurferColorLUT.txt
                  --excludeid 0 --sum output.txt --i
                  dpath/lh.unc_AS_avg32_mni_flt/path.pd.nii.gz


                  And similarly for any other pathway. See
                  the mri_segstats help for more usage
                  info. Let me know if this gives you what
                  you need.
