Bedda,

The volume of each cluster is simply the number of voxels*voxelsize, where
voxel size is xdim*ydim*zdim. This is easiest enough to do post-hoc on your
own. The reason this isn't implemented automatically is that cluster extent
is defined using number of contiguous voxels.

The output image will be a map of T-statistics in all clusters. If you want
to extract those values, I'd recommend AFNI. Specifically, they have a tool
called 3dmaskdump that could dump the T-statistics from all voxels using a
mask image. Something like:
3dmaskdump -mask *clusters.nii -mrange a b spmT_*.nii/.img
where a and b are the numbers above and below the actual cluster number.

AFNI is free and easily runs on Mac and Linux boxes.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards, Donald McLaren
