Hello,
  The total number of non-zero voxels ( when multiplied by the voxel dimensions ) gives the total brain volume of a subject, it is entirely likely this value will vary substantially when comparing different subjects.

Kind Regards

Hi,
I am not sure if i understand well how fslstats calcualte the number of pixels.
I have T1 images of the same size of 2 subjects same scanner etc..
I have run the pipeline  fsl_anat and I am interested in the segmentation of csf, G and W matter
My pve files created look perfectly  good.

My question is how can be possible that the total number of non zero voxels is different? if the images have same size??

%get first number <voxels> <volume>
csf_sub1 = fslstats subject1_pve_0.nii.gz -V
gray_sub1 = fslstats subject1_pve_1.nii.gz -V
white_sub1 = fslstats subject1_pve_2.nii.gz -V

and the same for subject 2
csf_sub2 = fslstats subject2_pve_0.nii.gz -V
gray_sub2 = fslstats subject2_pve_1.nii.gz -V
white_sub2 = fslstats subject2_pve_2.nii.gz -V

But then the sum:

csf_sub1 + gray_sub1 + white_sub1 != csf_sub2 + gray_sub2 + white_sub2

is different !! shouldn't be the same ??!!
