Yes, but you need to set the number of erodes. Each erode will be 1mm, and you just need to erode enough to avoid partial voluming, so 2 is probably fine. The more you erode, the smaller your ROI gets (and it can disappear).

Doug an Bruce thanks a lot!! I will do the following as I understood from your orientations and kindly correct me if I am wrong:
first of all I will resample my FA map into the anatomical space as the following command line : mri_vol2vol --mov fa.nii --lta dti-analysis register.lta --fstarg --o fa.anat.mgh
Then I will generate the statistics by using:
mri_segstats --seg $SUBJECTS_DIR/M87102113.v4/mri/wmparc.mgz --ctab $FREESURFER_HOME/FreeSurferColorLUT.txt --i fa.anat.mgh --erode --sum fa.stats
Is it correct?

yes, sorry. That is what I meant Bruce On Fri, 14 Nov 2014, Douglas N Greve wrote:
I think Bruce is referring to the wmparc.mgz. Map the FA into the anatomical space. Then use it with mri_segstats, probably with the erode option.

Hi Mohamad
I would think you are better off using the wmseg for this.
cheers Bruce

Hi Freesurfers, I want to calculate the FA in a VOI 8 mm3 in the left and right prefrontal white matter areas. My plan is to derive a mask for that area from aseg.mgz then I will register this mask to the FA map to calculate the FA value. Is it possible to derive like this mask from aseg.mgz and can I control the dimensions of that mask?
thanks a lot Mohamad
