[Freesurfer] Missingness and recent developments in longitudinal pipeline for pediatric samples

External Email - Use Caution

Dear FS Experts and Community,

we are working on a longitudinal dataset of structural T1w images in a pediatric sample assessed at 2 waves, 2 years apart (aged 6/7 and 8/9).

As far as we know, it is yet unresolved whether the Freesurfer longitudinal pipeline is robust in pediatric samples, where the head size is still changing or have there been any recent developments?

Also, is there any documentation on how missingness affects this Pipeline?

We look forward to your response

Thank you,

Laurel and Johannes
