External Email - Use Caution        

Good day

I am writing to enquire regarding the best approach to process longitudinal 
data acquired across 3 time points.

The time points are as follows:

  *   Infants (2-4 weeks old) – only T2 data available for this time point
  *   2-year-olds – T1 data available
  *   6-year-olds – T1 data available

The approach I’m considering:

  *   run the T2 infant data through synthmorph to create T1 images and then 
run infant Freesurfer on the synthetic T1 images
  *   run Freesurfer 7.1.1 on 2-year-old data
  *   I have Freesurfer 7.1.1 output for the 6-year-old data
  *   Run the Freesurfer longitudinal pipeline across the 3 time points

My questions are:

  *   I know it is highly recommended that the same Freesurfer version be used 
for longitudinal processing, but this may not be possible given that our 
dataset includes infant data. What would happen if I ran the normal Freesurfer 
7.1.1 on the infant data? Would it be reliable? If not, would it at all be 
possible to combine the infant Freesurfer output with the version 7.1.1. output 
in the longitudinal pipeline?
  *   I saw that the beta version of Freesurfer 8 is out and that it includes 
synthmorph etc. Would it be better to process all the data with this version of 
Freesurfer?
  *   When do you expect the stable release of Freesurfer 8 to come out?

Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Kind regards,
Chanelle
