Hello FreeSurfers,

I am following up on a previous question by another poster:
http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg21700.html

In here, Doug says that the mris_preproc script was patched to help with mapping the surface area to a common space, but Doug also hints that it might also help with the volume.  I am using FreeSurfer 5.0.0, mris_preproc release date 10-13-09, Revision 1.53.  If I want to do a qdec analysis in fsaverage space on just the thickness and volume, can I go ahead with files previously created using my current mris_preproc, or do I need to download the updated one at ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/transfer/outgoing/flat/greve/mris_preproc?

We also have some people using FreeSurfer 5.1.0, mris_preproc release date 5-17-11, Revision 1.59.2.1.  Do they need to update their mris_preproc script?

Thank you very much,
Jeff Sadino
