Hi Tamara, 

if you have time and only few subjects, I would recommend to look at all those. For a large study it becomes difficult. 
Just open the base and both time points on top to see if they all align and if the base looks OK. 
We also usually recommend to check the surface in base, but if you don’t care about cortical measures, you can skip that.

best, Martin

Hello,

I have a question regarding the outputs to the longitudinal processing
stream.

I ran my two participant's scans through the Cross, then created a Base and
two longitudinal runs. I am primarily interested in looking at ventricular
change over time. Other than the aseg output overlaid on the brainmask for each longitudinal time point, should I look at any other outputs to ensure the longitudinal process ran
correctly? For example, should I inspect the templates to make sure they are not blurry? Should I also overlay the two longitudinal runs to inspect potential alignment problems?

Thank you in advance for your help,

Tamara
