Hi Donald,

the T2/FLAIR should also work for longitudinal processing (just pass -T2pial along in cross and long). Long grabs the image from the cross run and improves it surfaces.

Martin and others,

As the T2/FLAIR image is only available for cross-sectional processing; if we are doing a longitudinal study, is there any advantage of using the T2/FLAIR image? Will the improved pial surface can transferred to the base and long surfaces?

Best Regards, Donald McLaren
