The conversion to mgz is lossless. Having said that, at some point along
the freesurfer stream, it does get converted to 8bit, but you can always
get back to the original data.

Greetings,
The data at this lab initially comes in a RAW data format. When
converted to 16-bit TIFF files, the quantitative data is retained.
I recognize that, in order for FreeSurfer to be of use, this data must
be converted to mgz files. However, does the process of converting
this information into the mgz format allow me to maintain quantitative
data that is retained when converting to 16-bit TIFF files? Or does
this process of converting to mgz files only ensure proper retention
of data for 8-bit files?
Thank you for your time and advice.
Greg
