Hi Justin, It partly depends on what exactly you want when you say "brain volume". Do you want a measure of estimated intracranial volume (intended to be independent of atrophy)? A measure of gray matter + white matter + ventricles? Or only gray matter + white matter? Do you care whether the cerebellum is included or not?

Hi all,
What is the best way to calculate total brain volume? It seems that there are multiple ways to do it--mris_volume and mris_wm_volume, add up the structures in the aseg.stats and ?h.aparc.stats files, or using the BrainSegVol or BrainSegVolNotVent from aseg.stats.
What do you recommend?
