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
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 Luke,
if T1A is your first time point and T1B the second, you need to do the second (create a directory for each). The first is doing something very different, it is using both inputs for a single reconstruction, by averaging the inputs.
Best, Martin
