Dear Bruce and Doug,

Thank u for your replay saying that it is possible to manually draw the pineal gland using freeview and extract stats for it.

Can u please refer me to a link on wiki that explain how to do it?

I'm not familiar with this procedure and although Doug explain it in brief I feel I need to follow some manual...is there something on the net?

If not - can u please specify the steps I need to go through?

Also, I have a full recon-all for the subjects I want to extract the volume of the pineal gland (using freesurfer version 3 something...). If I want to extract the volume of a specific ROI today using and advance freesurfer version (5+) - Do I need to run recon-all again with the newer version?

Many thanks !
