Hi Riccardo
when you say "compute the volume", what exactly do you mean? If you want
the interior volume of the two surfaces, you can use mris_volume, which
uses the divergance formula to do the calculation

Dear Freesurfer experts,
Hello, I am a student currently working in Frank Guenther's lab at Boston
University.
I am quite new to freesurfer, so forgive me if the following question may be
elementary.
I am interested in using freesurfer to compare the level of atrophy (preferably
for different brain
areas) in an individual subject to several controls. I'm wondering if there is
any way to determine
the volume of the '?h.pial-outer-smoothed', and corresponding '?h.pial' file
generated from running
the 'recon-all -s <subj> -localGI' command. The idea is that I could generate a
metric representing
a general level of atrophy in subjects by comparing these two volumes (or by
comparing the
'?h.pial-outer-smoothed' to intracranial volume), however, I have been unable
to find a way to
retrieve these values. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would greatly
appreciate any help in this
regard.
Thank you for your help!
Best,
Riccardo Falsini
