External Email - Use Caution        

Dear Freesurfer experts,
I would like to know if this procedure is correct.
I have cortical thickness data from aparc+aseg for every ROI in DTK atlas
(i.e. output of recon-all). I need average cortical thickness in frontal,
parietal, temporal, cingulate and occipital lobes. Is it correct to average
thickness measurement of every sub lobe roi (e.g. average thickness in
frontal lobe = average of:

   - Superior Frontal
   - Rostral and Caudal Middle Frontal
   - Pars Opercularis, Pars Triangularis, and Pars Orbitalis
   - Lateral and Medial Orbitofrontal
   - Precentral
   - Paracentral
   - Frontal Pole

and so on for other lobes...

Do we need to correct for the number of vertices in every region when we
measure the lobar average thickness?

Alternatively, do I need to run these commands to generate lobes then
measure thickness in every lobe?

# mri_annotation2label --subject subject --hemi lh --lobesStrict lobes
# mri_annotation2label --subject subject --hemi rh --lobesStrict lobes
# mri_aparc2aseg --s subject --labelwm --hypo-as-wm --rip-unknown \
#   --volmask --o wmparc.lobes.mgz --ctxseg aparc+aseg.mgz \
#   --annot lobes --base-offset 200 [--base-offset must be last arg]


Thank you
James
