Hi Shane,
not really. You can of course run images through the stream. You will
get measurements, but you will not know how much of that is caused by
the scanner or by disease (or drug,etc). If you have 2 groups, you could
model the scanner as a co-var, but there could be a group scanner
interaction and you have no way to test that.
You could scan a few people on both scanners to estimate scanner effects
etc. If those are smaller than what you find above, you can argue that
some of that could be real.
Best, Martin

Hi Freesurfer Team,
I try to calculate a within-subject decrease in cortical thickness
over 2 years, but the MRI scanner was changed during the project. Is
it still possible to do that using the longitudinal stream in Freesurfer?
Thanks.
Best Wishes,
Shane
