You should take the better of the two images (the one without motion artifacts).

Cheers, Martin

This raises an interesting question.

Given that the longitudinal process is more reliable, if we collect 2 scans on the same day, should we average those scans and then submit to Freesurfer or apply Freesurfer first and then create an average of the metrics from the longitudinal pipeline?

    Hi Cedric,

    this is as expected, the data changes when using the longitudinal
    stream (it will become more reliable, removing some of the
    variance you get in the independent processing). Becuase of the
    different processing approaches, the results from independent
    processing (cross) and long will not be directly comparable.

    Cheers, Martin

    Hi FreeSurfers,

    I ran the longitudinal processing pipeline on my subjects, FS 5.0.
    Following the tutorial, first independently, then base, then long
    etc. Everything works well,  no problems there.

    Out of curiosity I compared the asegstats & aparcstats within
    subject at baseline (i.e. The same timepoint): so the independent
    fsid vs the same_fsid.long.same_fsid_template, and there are
    (large) differences between all volumes/thicknesses. The
    independent measures are in almost all brain areas larger
    compared to those derived from the longi-stream. Except for the
    IC, which is completely the same, but of course, this measure is
    based on the Buckner method and calculated differently.

    Overall this seems a bit strange to me, because I believe there
    shouldn't be differences within subject on the same time-point.
    Is this the result of the within-subject template use for the
    longitudinal data or is something else going wrong, or is this
    normal?

    Many thanks!

    Cheers,
    Cédric
