Dear Doug, Thank you very much for your advice! We get to extract results for the volumes from a ".curv file encoded ROI" using your recommended command lines (mri_binarize and mri_segstats ), but unfortunately the results are much smaller (around 3 times) than when we extract total gray matter volumes from a respective ".label file encoded ROI" using mris_anatomical_stats .
Example: Volumes from a ".curv file encoded ROI" using your recommended command lines (mri_binarize and mri_segstats): Subject1 = 1090 Subject2 = 1181 Subject3 = 713 Subject4 = 1230 Volumes from a respective ".label file encoded ROI" (mris_anatomical_stats): Subject1 = 3497 Subject2 = 3786 Subject3 = 2268 Subject4 = 3491 Are the volumes extracted from a ".curv file encoded ROI" (using mri_binarize and mri_segstats) an estimation of the total gray matter volumes? Why these values are differing that much? Thank you very much, Josue Dalboni ________________________________________ From: freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu <freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> on behalf of Douglas N Greve <gr...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Sent: Wednesday, October 5, 2016 5:19 PM To: freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] Quantifying volumes I would binarize the curv file with mri_binarize --i lh.yourcurvfile --abs --min .0000001 --o lh.yourcurvfilebin.mgh Then compute the volume with mri_segstats --seg lh.yourcurvfilebin.mgh --id 1 --i lh.volume --accumulate --sum lh.vol.yourcurv.sum On 10/05/2016 09:09 AM, Josue Luiz Dalboni Da Rocha wrote: > Dear Douglas, > > I have a ".curv" file that contains the curvature information inside an > automatically delineated ROI and 0 everywhere else. > I would like to calculate the volume of this ROI, > > Can I extract statistics directly from the ".curv" file? > > Best regards, > Josue > ________________________________________ > From: freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu > <freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> on behalf of Douglas N Greve > <gr...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> > Sent: Tuesday, October 4, 2016 9:41 PM > To: freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu > Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] Quantifying volumes > > What is the nature of the segmentation?
