I see now that you can get the basics (min, max, mean, and std) for .mgz volumes using mris_calc.

The great thing about 'fslstats' is that you can easily specify thresholds to exclude voxels from the calculation, apply masks, and limit the various calculations to the non-zero voxels if you wish. So, if you ever had the time or desire to emulate those features, that would be handy. Or, go the other route and simply change all of FS to work with .nii's natively... :)

Until then, it obviously isn't that difficult to use mri_convert to change the .mgz's into .nii's.

I don't think so, but if you write out a list we can put them into mri_info (at least the easy ones for now).

Does FS have a generic binary for natively getting simple stats from mgz files -- e.g., min, max, range, percentiles, etc? i.e., something analogous to 'fslstats', but which works directly on mgz files?

thanks, -MH
