I guess I still don’t understand what you want. Is it a single number for all gray matter over the entire brain? Or broken down by structure/parcel?

There is no such flag in mri_segstats to calculate gray matter cortical parcels. There is a flag for total gray matter rather. Nevertheless, I think there is a file in recon-all output that has white matter to gray matter ratio : lh.w-g.pct and rh.w-g.pct and I have a file for the white matter so I think I may be able to create a code to calculate the gray matter.

I think that is exactly one of the outputs of mri_segstats. Check the help on it and see if it does what you want. I believe it is also run by default during recon-all and the values placed into one of the stats output files

 

Cheers

Yes, please

That's exactly what I mean.

Can you clarify what you mean by “measure the intensities for the grey matter regions”? You could for example compute the mean gray matter intensity within each cortical parcel and each subcortical structure. Is that what you want?

I think these are not grey matter but cortical parcellation. 

FSL can output grey matter segmentation but I do not think freesurfer has such an output.

In aparc.stats (rh.aparc or lh.aparc), there is only GrayVol and no intensity measure. I want to know how I can measure the intensities for the grey matter regions.

Recon-all outputs these 3 aparc aseg volumes:

 

aparc.DKTatlas+aseg.mgz

aparc.a2009s+aseg.mgz

aparc+aseg.mgz

 

 

Are these what you are looking for? They should work the same way as aseg volume.

 

Best,

Hi Freesurfer team, 

 

Recon-all output  shows the white matter volumes and white matter  intensities of different brain regions but only shows grey matter volumes. I want to know if there is a function or a flag to also get information on the regional grey matter intensities.

 

Thank you.
