Hi Elisabetta -

Yes it is included in the calculation of the cerebral WM. Since the CC is a WM tract comprising the Forceps Minor and Major, it is part of the WM calculation.

Alan

Alan,

thank you.

Of course, but my question was different:

Is the volume of the corpus callosum included in the calculation of the volume of the 'cerebral white matter'? Or does the volume of the cerebral white matter not include the volume of the corpus?

My understanding is that the volume of the corpus is included in the calculation of the volume of the cerebral white matter.

Can you confirm?

Thank you,

Elisabetta

Hello Elisabetta -

The Corpus callosal volumes are included in the ASEG output and not in the WM files. They are titled CC_Anterior, CC_Midbody etc.

Best,

Alan
