Ok. Then, I'm not sure if everything is correct with the command lines since I use 5.0.
Any thought on this Freesurfer team? Thanks, Andreia Citando will brown <willbrown1...@gmail.com>:
Thanks again, for the record, I'm using freesurfer version 5.3.0 on Centos 6. On 9/09/2014 11:00 PM, <_andre...@sapo.pt> wrote:_Hi Will, Just to clarify, what version of FS are you using? I think it might not be 5.0 and I don't know if everything aplies if we are using different versions. 1) Yes, it is only based on the pial surface (and these command lines are for the aparc, DK altas). The second set provides the surface area for each hemisphere without including, for example, the pial surface that you see in the hippocampus which is not accurate and one should not care about. In the end, the second set gives you the sum of the areas in aparc, thus, you can just make a sum of that parcellation if you want. I just realized that. 2) No. In the new stats file, the value that you want is at the bottom: # ColHeaders StructName NumVert SURFAREA GrayVol ThickAvg ThickStd MeanCurv GausCurv FoldInd CurvInd And when running aparcstats2table that's the value you should get in the table. I think that # MEASURE CORTEX, WHITESURFAREA, WHITE SURFACE TOTAL AREA may be including more stuff since it is bigger. If what you want is only the total hemisphere surface area you only need to run the second set of commands. If you want the area of each DK altas parcellation then run the first set and then simply add them to get total hemisphere surface area. Someone from Freesurfer staff will correct me if I'm wrong. (Please) I'm Ccing Doug since he was replying to your previous emails. Let's wait for their feedback. Andreia_ _Citando will brown <willbrown1...@gmail.com>:__Thanks Andreia, this does appear to have worked. Please forgive my ignorance but I do just want to double check two things; _ _1) The first commands you have given provide the stats for the two hemispheres of the cerebral cortex only based on the pial surface, whereas the second set of commands provide the pial boundary stats for the whole brain rather than just cortex? _ _2) The surface area value that I am looking for (grey matter surface area at the grey/pial boundary) is listed in the new stats table next to: # MEASURE CORTEX, WHITESURFAREA, WHITE SURFACE TOTAL AREA, ? _ _Thanks again, Will_ _On Tue, Sep 9, 2014 at 5:36 PM, will brown <willbrown1...@gmail.com> wrote:__Thanks very much Andreia, yes this does look like what I want.
