Hi Zoe,
there are basically two approaches if the assumption of fixed head size
is violated:
- use the longitudinal stream and see how far it get's you. Especially
if the time delta is relatively small, this has good chances to work. It
may require edits, so definitely check the results carefully.
- if surface initialization in the long is too far (that is, if the
surfaces created in the base are too far away from their final
position), there may not be much you can do with editing. If that
happens, you may need to drop longitudinal processing and simply use the
cross sectionally (independently) processed data. Since that data is the
first step in the longitudinal pipeline, it is already there.
Best, Martin

I'm looking to use FS for longitudinal processing in a pediatric
population ranging from 6-18 years. From what I've read, the
longitudinal stream isn't appropriate because our data violate the
assumption of fixed head size. Any advice on how to account for
increases in head size would be appreciated. Thank you!
