External Email - Use Caution        

I'm trying to determine the smallest rectangular prism that a brain will
fit in based on its MRI scan. My strategy is as follows: I am moving
through the brain axially, sagittally, and coronally to see where the brain
"starts" appearing and "stops" appearing. Then, I'm subtracting the amount
of no-brain slices from the total number of slices and multiplying the
result by the slice thickness.

This should get me the length (sagittal plane), width (coronal plane), and
height (axial plane) of a box that contains the brain.

Is there a function within FreeSurfer that can automate this process of
determining "first and last sight of brain" ? It is quite time consuming to
manually check hundreds of patients!

Best,
Hebah
