External Email - Use Caution
Hello,
Are the values you want not in the aseg.stats file? You can do it from individual ROIs, but you have to use all of them, not just the ones you list
Thanks for getting back to me. The aseg file only has volume information and not anything about surface area or thickness. We found a measure that we think is global surface area (split by hemisphere) in the aparc files, however, we are not sure how this value is calculated. Additionally, we see no output of a global thickness measurement in any of the files and we are curious about how we can go about generating a global surface area and global thickness. Please let us know if you have any recommendations.
Thanks in advance.
Micah

Dear Freesurfer Experts,
I want to generate global measures of cortical thickness and pial surface area analogous to using total cerebral volume as a global brain volume estimate.
In your opinion, would it be reasonable to generate these global thickness and surface area estimates from the following .aparc variables:
SurfArea.lh.Frontal MeanThick.lh.Frontal SurfArea.rh.Frontal MeanThick.rh.Frontal SurfArea.lh.Occipital MeanThick.lh.Occipital SurfArea.rh.Occipital MeanThick.rh.Occipital SurfArea.lh.Parietal MeanThick.lh.Parietal SurfArea.rh.Parietal MeanThick.rh.Parietal SurfArea.lh.Temporal MeanThick.lh.Temporal SurfArea.rh.Temporal MeanThick.rh.Temporal
Regards,
Micah
