Hi Nick,
Why do you use 128 as the value for mri_tessellate in your suggestion below? Should this value be used for all ROIs, regardless of hemisphere?
Thank you, Liz Selgrade

or use mri_extract_label instead of mri_binarize, like this, to get the left hippocampus:
mri_extract_label aseg.mgz 17 lh.hippo.mgz mri_tessellate lh.hippo.mgz 128 lh.hippo.unsmoothed mris_smooth lh.hippo.unsmoothed lh.hippo mris_info lh.hippo |& grep total_area
this seems to work.
'17' is the index for left hippocampus, as found in $FREESURFER_HOME/FreeSurferColorLUT.txt

There's not an easy way. You could binarize the structure (mri_binarize), then build a surface around it (mri_tessellate), maybe smooth it (mris_smooth), then compute the surface area (mris_info). This would be a completely untested method though:).
