Hi Elisa

usually we acquire sagitally as that is the shortest direction, but it shouldn't matter as long as your voxels are close to 1mm isotropic (just longer scans).

Hi, I am a beginner in the use of Freesurfer. I was wondering if the T1w volume used as input for the recon-all has to be acquired in axial direction or not. In other words, is there a recommended acquisition direction?

Thank you, Elisa
