Dear List Members,

I am planning to use the eTIV for a group analysis using segmentation volumes and I need to confirm that the eTIV ( aka ICV) generated in freesurfer is NOT dependent on the skull strip? Specifically, I wanted to make sure one does not need to QC the skull strips to make sure all of the brain structures suggested in that figure on p728 of the buckner paper ( http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/eTIV?action=AttachFile&do=view&...) need to be included?

Thanks,

-S
