more exact than what?

Is there any way to generate a file which is more exact? Or perhaps, is that file already there?

    The aseg.stats is generated with partial volume estimation

    I wrote an algorithm which uses the number of pixels per region
    in the aseg+aparc.mgz file. As this file has 1x1x1mm3 I was
    expecting the number of pixels to match very closely the value of
    the volume; as each pixel represents a 1 mm3 cube.(I did the same
    for cortical volume and got a similar result, with an even larger
    discrepancy).

    The aseg.stats file lists the nVoxel value, and it is basically
    the volume rounded up.
    here are some sample values for subcortical regions:

    Left-Lateral-Ventricle Volume (mm3): 7829.8
    Left-Lateral-Ventricle (number of Pixels in aseg+aparc.mgz): 7396
    Left-Inf-Lat-Vent Volume (mm3):594
    Left-Inf-Lat-Vent(number of Pixels in aseg+aparc.mgz):569
    Left-Cerebellum-White-Matter Volume (mm3):12668
    Left-Cerebellum-White-Matter(number of Pixels in
    aseg+aparc.mgz):12203
    Left-Cerebellum-Cortex Volume (mm3):44113.2
    Left-Cerebellum-Cortex(number of Pixels in aseg+aparc.mgz):43804
    Left-Thalamus-Proper Volume (mm3):5752.8
    Left-Thalamus-Proper(number of Pixels in aseg+aparc.mgz):5899

    Pretty much the values are close to the volume, but different
    enough to be significant. I wonder why this discrepancy.
