Thanks, that's useful for getting the ROI volumes and a list of all that's been found for a particular data set.
I would still like to have a way to identify a listed region as gray matter or not so that I can parse the file for only GM regions that have been returned, particularly as different numbers of ROIs are typically returned in an aparc+aseg file.
I see in the aseg.stats file that there are volumetric summations for GM quantities, such as: # Measure lhCortex, lhCortexVol, Left hemisphere cortical gray matter volume, 238183.759207, mm^3 # Measure rhCortex, rhCortexVol, Right hemisphere cortical gray matter volume, 240824.502797, mm^3 # Measure Cortex, CortexVol, Total cortical gray matter volume, 479008.262004, mm^3 .... # Measure SubCortGray, SubCortGrayVol, Subcortical gray matter volume, 57815.000000, mm^3 # Measure TotalGray, TotalGrayVol, Total gray matter volume, 643956.262004, mm^3
Are these calculated by summing individual ROI volumes, so that a list of all possible GM volumes does already exist somewhere?
Thanks, pt

I don't know that we have a complete list in one place of just the aparc+aseg ROIs, but you can get one by running
mri_segstats --seg aparc+aseg.mgz --ctab-default --sum sum.dat
then look in the sum.dat file

Is there an available list of GM regions within the list of regions in the FreeSurferColorLUT.txt?
(In particular, I am interested in a list of GM regions output in a default run of recon-all, which seems to have a maximum regionnumber of 2035. But a full list is great, too-- I'm not sure which might be already available or easier to generate.)
I had thought of using the segmentation volumes to help me differentiate ROIs. For example, I could get rid of regions that overlap with the WM volume, but I think that the segmentation might come from a slightly different bit of information than the sum of segmented regions. As shown in the attached slice image, if I underlay the WM segmentation volume (color = white), and overlay a "recon-all" parcellation+segmentation map (color = red for GM on right, yellow for GM on left, and green for non-GM) to look for overlap, I see that some of the WM seg volume overlaps with GM ROIs (overlaps are isolated pink-ish voxels and light yellow voxels; one highlighted in cross hairs). I guess this difference occurs because the segmentation volume comes from the surfaces themselves?
Anyways, this makes me think that I can't automate finding the GM, and I would rather go from LUT numbers, and hence the above question.
