Hi Gonzalo,
it is possible to run those tools on that data. The problem is you will
never know if the effect you find is due to anatomical changes or
scanner / field strength differences. Maybe you could scan 10-20
controls on the 1.5 and 3 T scanner back to back , to estimate scanner
effects (using the assumption that anatomical changes are close to zero,
which of course could be wrong, as there will be motion and hydration
effects. Both could be affected by the order of scans, so I would
randomly select which scan is done first (1.5 or 3T). Anyway with that
data you could compare your effect with the test-retest scanner effect
to see if there are significant differences.
Best, Martin

Hi:
I have two timepoints of the same patient: the first is in 1.5T and
the second in 3.0T... Is it possible to do the longitudinal study
(subcortical volumes) using the Workflow Summary described in
https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/LongitudinalProcessing ?...
Sincerely,
Gonzalo Rojas Costa
