Hi,
Just had a couple of questions re: the -pvvol flag in mri_segstats: 
How does it take account of partial voluming?  
Is there anyway to visualize what the partial volume-corrected volume would 
look like?
Would you recmmoned using this falg routinely to obtain  subcortical volumes?

Finally, on a completely unrelated question, is there any reason to think that 
surfaces created using the same freesurfer distribution on a Mac would be 
incompatible with those created using a Linux machine (ie., would you be able 
to pool them for one study without any problems, and could you start creating 
surfaces on one, and then re-run afdter manual edits on the other?)

Thanks,
Alex

You should be able to use mri_segstats somehow. You'll need a
segmentation, though. You could tell it to report
on the aseg wm values. You could also use the fill volume (127 and
255?). Check out the --help
