I would use the eTIV (or the sTIV in v8), but it is actually a
philosophical question. If you normalize by the brain volume, you are
testing a different hypothesis than if you normalize by the TIV.

Aloha,
Mahalo for your response! What do you use for normalization between subjects?

This is not necessarily a problem. The "e" in eTIV means "estimate". It is a
slight hack where the registration to MNI space is used to compute an estimate of the TIV, so it is
not based on a segmentation or any real image processing, so it is sometimes quite off. This ratio
was really just meant to be a flag to catch your attention. Now that it has it, just look at the
skull stripping and see if it looks ok. If it does, then ignore the flag.

Aloha,
I am using Version 7.4.1. After running recon-all for multiple subjects, I noticed
the Brain mask is larger than the intracranial volume (Mask-to-eTIV > 1). I
attempted multiple different skull stripping methods, however, the mask-to-eTIV is
always > 1. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Mahalo for your help.
