Hi Matthew
you could save the surfaces generated internally by mri_watershed with the -surf <surfname> option, compute the volume of the interior of that with mris_volume, then subtract out whatever other tissue classes you want using the aseg.

Dearest gurus of all things Freesurfer, I am looking for a simple way to quantify the amount of CSF, the total volume of brain matter (excluding ventricular space if possible) and, as a check on these two, the total intracranial area. Essentially I need a way to compare how much room there is for the brain to move around and deform. Any ideas on how best to achieve these goals would be most appreciated.
