Hi Jon - You can try merging the DWIs, gradient tables, and b-value files from the 2 scans and specifying the merged version in the config file as if this were a single scan. I haven't tried this myself, so do let me know if this works! If in addition to 2 DWIs you also had 2 anatomicals, you

Hi Bruce Thank you for your answer... My concern is that the left pial surface of the medial orbitofrontal cortex is overlapping the right medial orbitofrontal cortex... I don't think that the cortical thickness can be accurate if so...? Thank you very much in advance for your help... Best regard

Hi Andi - You're very welcome! I hope you'll find it useful. That's correct, if you turn off these pre-processing options then trac-all will simply copy your DWIs, gradient table and b-value table from the location that you specify to the dmri/ directory and continue from there. You can cert

Sinead, Much has improved since v4.5, so I would recommend updating to v5.2. I would have to re-run your prior subject data, as you will not be able to mix results processed with different versions, but any edits you made will be retained. The mris_volmask failure you describe will not invalidat
