Hi Yolanda, if you want to simulate a study where one obtains 2 time points (6 months apart) or 2 time points (12 months apart) and then compare the results, you would need to run these two independently through free surfers longitudinal stream (one time including 0 and 6 month, the other time

Hi Martin, Thank you for your answer, but my idea was to compare the atrophy rates when using scans at 6 months (0 - 6 months) and scans at 12 months (0 - 12 months). If my templates are built with more time points, the results will be biased, right? Regards, Yolanda 2013/3/18 Martin Reuter : >

Hi Yolanda, actually it is advantageous if the template is build from more time points. You don't need to process the images again, just do your statistical analysis with the time points you are interested in. But: why restrict the statistics to a subset of the data? If you are interested in y

Dear FreeSurfer experts, I have run a longitudinal study considering multiple time points (7 scans/subject on average) with FS 5.1. However, I am interested in the percent changes between two time points only (between 0 and 6 months and between 0 and 1 year). Should I run the longitudinal stream f
