v4.3.0 has some randomness in its algorithms which account for these differences. if you want the results to repeat from run to run, add the -norandomness flag, or use v4.5.0.

HI Bruce and freesurfers I have a question about the input file of recon-all I follow the tutorial, first use unpacksdcmdir to convert the original dcm file to a mgz file,then use the recon-all command with the mgz file as the input. I also tried to run the recon-all command with the original dcm file as the input. And I compare the output *.stats files with different inputs, the *.stats files I compared located in <subjectname>/stats/ Then I found a strange thing, the aseg.stats file between the two inputs is the same, however, the aparc file is different，and the difference in some index is larger than we thought. So, I am not sure, which input file is OK for recon-all analysis? I have attached the related results. The version we use is freesurfer-Linux-centos4_x86_64-stable-pub-v4.3.0 Thanks for your help! ps1, we use siemens machine, so I put *.IMA as the dcm input ps2, the scanning orient we use is sagittal, however, my partner has asked this question and was answered that we need't reorient it.
Sincerely, Jin
