Hello, Dr. Fischl
Thank you very much for your quickly response.

Three protocols are different in TR and TI. 
We are not interested in comparing the protocols. GE just updated patchs for 
the scanner we are using. We can not run the original protocol (the second 
one). The first line is what the scanner uses now when we load the original 
protocol. This update intereupts our data aqusition. we have subjects in two 
study groups has been scanned with the original protocol, but we may have to 
use the new protocol from now on for any new subjects in both groups. 
 
We may not be able to balance the number of subjects for each acqusition type 
between two groups, unless we throw away some data.
 
Can we use the new protocol to continue our study?
 
Thank you again,
 
Xin Wang

Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] images use different protocols



can you give us the details of the protocols? And are  you talking about
2 different acquisitions on the same subject, or two groups of subjects
with different acquisitions? If the latter then your groups must be
balanced in terms of # of subjects for each acquisition type.
