You can create labels for each of the cortical annotations with mris_label2annot, then merge the labels for your lobe together with mri_mergelabels, then run mris_anatomical_stats on the final label. This will give cortical volume for your lobe (will exclude white matter).

Dear all,

I would like to calculate the frontal lobe volume from the outputs of freesrufer. Could any body here please tell me the way to do this?

Any comments are welcome!

Best wishes,

Vincent
