External Email - Use Caution        

Dear all,

I have pre and post-intervention data for a single group of subjects, and
I'd like to extract the cortical thickness pre and post, for all standard
regions in the atlas, and use those in subsequent analyses.

Following the standard approach
<https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/LongitudinalProcessing#LongitudinalProcessing51.LongitudinalStream.28recon-all-long.29>for
longitudinal studies, I used the following types of commands:

   1.



*recon-all -i 01_1.nii.gz -subjid 01_1 recon-all -i 01_2.nii.gz -subjid
   01_2 recon-all -i 02_1.nii.gz -subjid 02_1 .. where e.g. 01 is the subj
   code, and _1 and _2 represent pre and post scans*
   2.

*recon-all -subjid 01_1 -all recon-all -subjid 01_2 -all ..*
   3.

*recon-all -base 01 -tp 01_1 -tp 01_2 -all .. *
   4.

*recon-all -long 01_1 01 -all recon-all -long 01_2 01 -all .. *

However, the base step has led to warnings of the type: "WARNING: Image
geometries differ across time, maybe due to aquisition changes?  This can
potentially bias a longitudinal study! ", and consequently to an empty
/stats folder -- even though my pre and post images are aligned and have
similar acquisition parameters.

Have I done something wrong, and how can I fix this warning/error? Many
thanks in advance for any help.

Best wishes,
Tudor
