Dear Zheng,
You can build a GLM with a single group, and then look at the residuals. Or, even easier: just divide the volumes of each subject by his/her ICV (the answers won’t be identical, but should definitely be quite similar).
Cheers,
/Eugenio

Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] hippocampus subfields
Hi Bruce,
I am sorry for asking you question as this, but I really don't know how to do it?
It seems that GLM is suitable for there are two groups or more. But I only have one group, If I want to get the line trend with eTIV corrected for the relationship
between age and volume, what should I do?
The picture is my result, but it doesn't corrected by eTIV. I appreciate your help, please.

Thanks a lot!
Zheng
