External Email - Use Caution Thank you so much Martin.
This is super and very much appreciated. I'll try this and resample all my data and then hopefully it will run successfully through the longitudinal pipeline over my three time points. Best regards and again thank you for your reply.

So essentially from what you say, this drastically impacts any longitudinal analyses as there will be a systematic bias across the data. Is there any point in trying to do longitudinal analyses with such data as it will be a factor in all output? Is it worth resampling all three time points to 1mm and then rerun the analysis as it will be difficult to say if any patterns of change arent due to the acquistions as you said? If I want to resample the data to a "standard 1mm3" voxel size, is there a FS command for that or should I use something in FSL or AFNI tools and then feed the resampled data back to the recon-all inistial step in FS. Thanks for the help and guidance.

Any difference in acquisition will cause effects and it will be impossible to distinguish these from real effects. Also you should never just resample one time point, as that will introduce processing bias. I would advise to - find out why, and you need to report this in any analysis so that people are aware of this potential bias - resample both time points to some 3rd space. Probably here simply conform them to 1mm isotropic.

I then ran the base step but found that my voxel dimensions are slightly different across the timepoints and I got the following error ERROR: MultiRegistration::loadMovables: images have different voxel sizes. Currently not supported, maybe first make conform? Debug info: size(2) = 0.881117, 0.881117, 0.881117 size(0) = 0.884507, 0.884507, 0.884507 MultiRegistration::loadMovables: voxel size is different /projects/pi-vokeane/HPC_16_00925/MC_FS_testdata_EOH/freesurfer/subjects/abd025_tp3/mri/norm.mgz. I assume I need to resample the data to the voxel size of the first time point and then rerun. Can you advise on what command to use to resample the images from time 2 and time 3 to those of time 1 before rerunning from scratch. I assume I can't avoid rerunning the initial reconall step once I resample my data.
