External Email - Use Caution
Hello Freesurfer team,
I have just become aware of the release notes concerning v7.0.0 being recalled and not to be used, with the recommendation to use v7.1.0 instead: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/ReleaseNotes
I have a couple of questions about the implications of this recall.
We have processed a large dataset using freesurfer version 6, with all subjects being processed (recon-all) with the same version/platform.
We would now like to segment the hippocampal subfields using the enhanced version of the module as outlined here: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/HippocampalSubfields which requires Freesurfer 7.
We have successfully run the hippocampal segmentation using freesurfer_v7.0.0_dev_20200405 (7.1 was not available at the time).
My questions:
1. Given the recall of v7.0.0, does this mean that we should re-do the hippocampal segmentation that used v7.0.0 with v7.1.0? In other words, are all functions within v7.0.0 to be avoided, or just the recon-all stream?
2. Given that the recon-all was processed with v6, is it ok to perform the hippocampal subfield segmentation with v7? I understand that it is fine to perform post-processing functions outside the recon-all stream with newer versions (provided recon-all was done with the same version). Is my understanding correct?
Thank you for your assistance.
