Hi Bruce, Thanks for your response. My question was indeed: what is the unit of the CC_* output in the aseg.stats? E.g. in the attached file, the last 5 rows depict CC segmentation measurements (between ~400+ and 900+), and I was wondering what was the unit of these measurements. The other values are clearly mm^3, but what about the CC? From what I understood from Diana Rosas' paper, the CC was measured as the thickness / distance from the medial axis of the CC to the superior and inferior boundaries, but I may have wrongly understood.
