total cortical WM should not include the ventricles. If the lateral ventricles are not segmented properly, then they would be included, but this would be an error. Otherwise, I think your equation is correct. doug Cheryl McCreary wrote: > Hi Doug, > > Thanks for the quick reply. I will re-run t

Hi Doug, Thanks for the quick reply. I will re-run the mri_segstats as below to get the BrainSegNotVent volumes for consistency with the previous version. Just for my own understanding using the default output aseg.stats from recon-all, could whole brain parenchymal volume be calculated as [(to

Hi Cheryl, You can regenerate the asseg.stats file with BrianVolNotVent with: cd $SUBJECTS_DIR/yoursubject mri_segstats --subject yoursubject --seg mri/aseg.mgz --sum stats/aseg.stats --pv mri/norm.mgz --empty --excludeid 0 --excl-ctxgmwm --supratent --subcortgray --in mri/norm.mgz --in-intensi

[Freesurfer] Estimate Brain Volume Fraction

2011-12-14 Thread Cheryl McCreary
Hi Freesurfer experts, I would like to determine brain parenchymal fraction (ie brain tissue volume/estimated ICV) as an estimate of global atrophy. In previous versions of FS, I used the BrianVolNotVent/ICV. Is this correct? I am now using freesurfer version 5.0.0 and BrainVolNotVent is not lo
