Dear Freesurfer experts,
I posted one week ago a question about the SupraTentorial Volume that is indicated in the aseg.stats but unfortunately did not receive any suggestions as yet.
1. SupraTentorial Vol. is defined as Cortex + CorticalWhiteMatter + SubCortGray (http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/MorphometryStats) but when I sum up these columns myself from the aseg.stats I do not arrive at the exact value of SupraTentorial Vol that is indicated in the same aseg.stats. For some of my subjects this value is higher, for some it is lower. What could be the reason for these differences? Is CSF and ventricle volume already subtracted from the SupraTentorial Volume?
2. Is it possible to exclude lesions from the volume-based measures by incorporating a self-defined lesion mask for each subject?
Any help or suggestions is very much appreciated!
