Hello SPMers,
I would llike to analyse normalized hippocampi segmented with FreeSurfer. However, to normalize the hippocampi I need to know the TIV. For the moment, I have calculated it in two different ways. The first one is using "get_totals" function of the SPM segmented images (wm+gm+csf) and the second one using the TIV given directly by FreeSurfer. These values should be similar, however, they are not:
Mean TIV value obtained with freesurfer: 1174 cmm3
Mean TIV value obtained with SPM (get_totals): 1706 cmm3
Should I consider the TIV calculated with get_totals like wm+gm only? Why is this TIV so big?
Thank you in advance,
