Hi thank you for reply. May I ask other question; after editing the base it says to reocnstruct with recon-all -base -tp1 -tp2 etc. Does this require that all scans are located in the same directory? (Before i used symbolic links as scans are in different directories) but i am unsure whether after editing the abse anything further is actually done to the cross runs?

Thank you for your help,

Anna

Hi Anna,

the linear mixed effects models can include subjects with a single time point and it would be a shame to drop that information. That is why we modified the longitudinal pipeline (use 5.3) to allow processing of subjects with a single time point. However, it is necessary that these images undergo the same processing steps as the rest of the data (to avoid bias). So you run it exactly as other subjects, with a cross sectional, -base and a -long step:

recon-all -all -s <tp1id> -i path_to_tp1_dcm

recon-all -base <templateid> -tp <tp1id> -all

recon-all -long <tp1id> <templateid> -all

Best, Martin

Dear Freesurfer experts,

I want to know if possible when doing longitudinal stream to put subjects with only one time-point through the processing (eg base and long runs) in order to subsequently use with the Matlab lme tools? Or better is to leave them out and only do those with 2+ times?

Thank you

Kind Regards,

Anna
