dear mr. greve,
dear fs community,


REGARDING CSF and CSFVol:

i still don’t understand the whole CSF and CSFVol thing.
it seems to be impossible that CSFVol ist the volume of the CSF label because 
CSFVol is bigger than CSF.
additional to this aspect the value of the CSF label is a volume itself.

so my questions again:  what is the label CSF (aseg.stats) describing? and what 
does it stands for? cer.spinal.fluid? 
                                        
                                        what is the label CSFVol (console) 
describing? and what does it stands for if the CSF label is a volume already?


I’ve been trying to understand the meaning of the CSF (index24) by using 
freeviewer.. but no chance… for me it seems to be not part of the ventricle 
system as i know it? maybe you can describe it using an image?

beside that: whats the advantage of this two lables beside getting the whole 
ventricle volume by adding ventricles (lateral,inferior lateral, 3rd, 4th, 5th)?



REGARDING CC (corpus callosum):

why do you think that the corpus callosum is not a 3D body? of cause it is or 
what did you mean?
setting the CC parts in free viewer it seems as if it shouldn’t be a big deal 
to add the separated parts of the CC to one value?!





kind regards,
