OK, thanks so much for letting me know.  Any idea how it might affect cortical thickness or subcortical volume results (over-estimation/under-estimation)?

We do try to use the same image acquisition parameters for all subjects in a given study of course, but this was an unusual case...

Thanks,
Tricia

Hi Tricia,

I don't think you can use that subject. It will only have 39% of the SNR
of the others. Sorry :<
