Hi Nick,

thanks for your advice - Freesurfer v5.2 has now been installed on our clusters and I am running the recon_all script again with this version. Is it necessary to re-run everything from scratch again ('mk subjdirs' and 'mri_convert') using this version or will it be okay to just re-run the 'recon_all' step? 

Thanks for your help!

Sinead,

Much has improved since v4.5, so I would recommend updating to v5.2.  I
would have to re-run your prior subject data, as you will not be able to
mix results processed with different versions, but any edits you made will
be retained.

The mris_volmask failure you describe will not invalidate the results that
it had produced for the subject up until the failure point (ie, the
subcortical and cortical segmentations should be valid) but it does mean
that stages downstream of that stage will not have run, and so some
measures will not exist (likely even -segstats will not have run).
