[Freesurfer] automatic processing

Hi,

I have to process more than 500 good quality scans (1mm isotropic) for an epidemiological study and have limited time resources. Initial processing of 20 scans seems promising but I am new to freesurfer and therefore I am not quite sure how significant small defects might be in the big picture (where they will be averaged over a large number of subjects).

I would be interested to hear the experience of others in using autoreconall for processing most scans and only reprocessing a small portion of scans with obvious substantial defects (mostly on the inflated surface).

With good quality scans would most people reprocess most scans?

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Nic
