I think it should be ok as far as FreeSurfer goes. Anonymization is another story. doug On 10/24/2014 01:31 PM, Janosch Linkersdörfer wrote:
Hi all,
I wonder whether I can rename subjects after processing has been done and do further processing or stats on them without running in any problems.
From reading http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer%40nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg26244.html, it seems as if the name of the subject folder under which everything else resides is the only marker and renaming it should be sufficient.
But it seems the subject name is written in other places (http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer%40nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg19285.html). Is this only a problem for de-identification or could it also cause other problems if the subject folder name and the name that is used elsewhere in the tree don't match.
Are there special considerations regarding the longitudinal workflow?
Thanks,
Janosch
