Which version of FS are you using? Can you send the lh.Rossvolume.mgh.log file?

mris_preproc --qdec-long RossQdecFinal30May.txt --target fsaverage --hemi lh --meas volume --out lh.Rossvolume.mgh

The vertex-wise analyses were run with 5 mm smoothing, but the graph I showed below was created with the unsmoothed data.

Thanks for the help!

What is your mris_preproc comman?

    Dear Freesurfer experts,

    I’m stuck on something which I think has to do with how Freesurfer
    calculates volumes, but can’t quite wrap my head around it,
    hopefully you can enlighten me.

    I have already produced robust results for our data using
    region-based cortical volumes, using aparcstats2table. This is in
    a group of 55 healthy older adults, modeling is using linear mixed
    effects models. All volumes were normalized with the eTIV.

    We were hoping on exploring the same models with voxel-wise
    analyses, and are getting wildly different results. Data were
    created using mri_preproc, resampled onto fsaverage, and my
    assumptions was that because of this resampling, we should NOT be
    normalizing these values to the eTIV. The same regions which were
    highly significant on the region-based analyses and now not
    significant at all, and other regions are now showing up as
    significant.

    Just as a sanity check, I attempted to reproduce the region-based
    analyses with these data using the following simple (I thought!)
    procedure:

    1.Created an mgz mask of the region I’m interested in, using
    mri_annotation2label and mri_label2label

    2.Read my volume data (#subjects x #vertices) into Matlab

    3.Read my mask into Matlab (yes, I know I can probably do this in
    Freesurfer, but I’m more comfortable with Matlab!)

    4.Multiply them together and take the sum across vertices.

    5.Feed the resultant data back into my LME model.

    Two things are puzzling to me. 1) The highly significant results
    from the old LME are no longer significant (at the moment, only
    checked for two of the cortical regions), and 2) The correlation
    between these new data and the aparc volume are OK, although far
    from perfect (R2 ~ 0.86).

    So, I’m obviously missing something here. What is the difference
    between the two volume calculation methods which could explain
    these discrepancies?

    Any help with this would be MOST appreciated!

    Best,

    Mark
