dear mr. greve, dear fs community,
REGARDING CSF and CSFVol:
i still don’t understand the whole CSF and CSFVol thing. it seems to be impossible that CSFVol ist the volume of the CSF label because CSFVol is bigger than CSF. additional to this aspect the value of the CSF label is a volume itself.
so my questions again: what is the label CSF (aseg.stats) describing? and what does it stands for? cer.spinal.fluid? what is the label CSFVol (console) describing? and what does it stands for if the CSF label is a volume already?
I’ve been trying to understand the meaning of the CSF (index24) by using freeviewer.. but no chance… for me it seems to be not part of the ventricle system as i know it? maybe you can describe it using an image?
beside that: whats the advantage of this two lables beside getting the whole ventricle volume by adding ventricles (lateral,inferior lateral, 3rd, 4th, 5th)?
REGARDING CC (corpus callosum):
why do you think that the corpus callosum is not a 3D body? of cause it is or what did you mean? setting the CC parts in free viewer it seems as if it shouldn’t be a big deal to add the separated parts of the CC to one value?!

CSFVol is actually the volume of the CSF label (index 24)
3rd4th5thCSF is the volume of the 3rd, 4th, 5th ventricles plus the CSF label
VentChorVol is the volume of choroird plexus, lateral ventricles, and inferior lateral ventricles
BrainSegVolNotVent = BrainSegVol - VentChorVol - 3rd4th5thCSF ;

Hey Mr. Greve,
thank your very much again! if i understand you right, the inside the console shown up values can’t be extracted into a separate file?
beside that, this values are of interest for me, so that i copied them to a text file. as you can see:Getting Brain Volume Statistics ... SubCortGMVol 56306.000 SupraTentVol 963813.403 (960508.000) diff=3305.403 pctdiff=0.343 SupraTentVolNotVent 940278.403 (936973.000) diff=3305.403 pctdiff=0.352 BrainSegVol 1109500.000 (1106935.000) diff=2565.000 pctdiff=0.231 BrainSegVolNotVent 1082437.000 (1082065.403) diff=371.597 pctdiff=0.034 BrainSegVolNotVent 1082437.000 CerebellumVol 145310.000 VentChorVol 23535.000 3rd4th5thCSF 3528.000 CSFVol 963.000, OptChiasmVol 154.000 MaskVol 1526326.000
am i right that this CSFVol is the Volume of all ventricles not including the extra cerebral CSF? i tried to calculate the CSFVol reverse by calculating: VentChorVol - Choroidplexus(2*) = ..and it didn’t fit with the CSFVol?! why this?
and what exactly is the VentChorVol and 3rd4th5thCSF for?
im a bit confused about all this lables and im sorry for asking you so much but i would really appreciate to solve this pity situation.
do you have a kind of an overview?
thank you in advance again,
ben luerweg

dear fs community,
as a kind of a freesurfer greenhorn i would kindly ask you to help me out with identifying the different labels used by freesurfer. after using mri segstats most of the labels seem to be describing thereselfs in proper way.
what i don’t understand are for example the different volume values showing up inside the console after entering the segstat command.
VentChorVol what does this label explain?
Volume of all ventricles plus the volume of the chorioid plexus.
CSFVolwhy is this volume differing to the one within the segstat file?
Volume of all ventricles (not well named because it does not include extra cerebral CSF)
and finally i would really love to know how to calculate a correct brain to liquor ratio?!
Do you mean brain volume to total CSF volume? See above
kind regards, ben
