hey all!
ok.. sorry guys i detected a calculation mistake… !!
and the now calculated values seem to be close enough to be correct…
anyway… the brainsegvol - brainsegvolnotvent number is different to adding all ventricle volumes number like —> 21782 and 20980 … any idea why ?
which way of calculating the whole ventricle volume value is more precise? adding the different ventricle parts or subtracting brainsegvolnotvent from brainsegvol?
last question:
am i right that numbers out of the wmparc file of e.g. the insula are just the volumes of the white matter part of e.g. the insula?
would it be ok to add the volumes of the aparc file as the grey matter volume.. to get the complete volume of e.g. the insula?
kind regards b.l.

Can you post the numbers for each item? Your first calculation is over 200 thousand mm3 (10x the 2nd calc) which suggests a math error

alright.. so far…BUT:
Ive tried to get the volume of the ventricle system by using two different calculations.
first of all i tried to get the volume by: brainsegvol - brainsegvolnotvent than i tried to simply add all the seprate parts of the ventricle system (rh lat ventricle + lh lat ventricle + 3rd, 4th and 5th ventricle)
after doing this i realized that the two values were differing like -> 217820,00 (first calculation) and 20115,899999999998 (second calculation) any ideas why the difference is that big?
kind regards

yes, you can add the various components of the cc or cingulate to get total volume
As for the CSF label, I think it's for bits of csf that can be seen or inferred on a T1 in sulci and maybe inferior regions. You might want to check the original CMA (Caviness, Kenndy, et al) papers, but I imagine it's small enough that it doesn't matter much. I believe it is *not* part of the ventricular system

hey mr greve, hey fs community,
what do you think about adding the volumes of seperated parts of one structure to a complete volume? e.g. the corpus callosum or also cingulate gyrus.
is it ok to get the complete volume value by just adding the volumes of the seperated parts?
beside that, am i right that wmparc parts of e.g. insula is just the white matter volume? would it be ok to add the volume of the aparc equivalent as the grey matter volume part?
i really tried to find out what the label CSF stands for.. but beside realizing that its not a common/regular part of the ventricle system i couldn’t get any other informations regarding the meaning? of the CSF label.
i tried to find out whats it about by using freeview (screenshot (black part)) anyone any idea?
kind regards, ben

thx so far! really thank you.. do you know how to find out more about that label? what do you think about how to get any informations about a possible adding of different structure parts to a „complete one“ for example the Corpus callosum thing?

Not sure. This was a label supplied to us by the center for morphometric analysis (CMA) about 20 years ago, and I can't find the docs on it. It does not appear to be part of the ventricular system. I think it must be some kind of of sulcal csf in the midline. I don't know why the CMA decided to label that and not other sulcal CSF. It is pretty small and probably will not affect your calculations that much either way > > beside that: whats the advantage of this two lables beside getting the > whole ventricle volume by adding ventricles (lateral,inferior lateral, > 3rd, 4th, 5th)?
