Re: [Freesurfer] Set up data for longitudinal processing

Hi Luke

if I understand you properly the second way it the correct way (assuming T1A.nii and T1b.nii are two timepoints for a subject). I think you have a typo though as your second recon-all should use T1B.nii as input.

Hi folks,

sorry it's me again with a very basic question. What is the best way to import longitudinal data?

recon-all -i /path/T1A.nii -i /path/T1B.nii  FIRSTSUBJECT

or

recon-all -i /path/T1A.nii FIRSTSUBJECT_A recon-all -i /path/T1A.nii FIRSTSUBJECT_B

I tend to use the second choice because otherwise I would have no idea how to distinguish between SUBJECT-ID and TimepointID later on in the processing stream.

Best whises,

Luke
