What was your previous version of OSX before the upgrade to Mavericks? I would expect, but I can not claim with absolute certainty, that the differences would be extremely negligible, if existent at all. We advertise that the same version of Freesurfer should be used for the entire processing stream. As long as the version of the Freesurfer software is consistent, than I would move forward with your analysis. Its a fair question, and I welcome others to chime in if they have additional input or disagree.

A sanity check, which I will probably run in the next few days, is to run recon-all on a test subject (e.g. bert) with the 64bit build on both Mountain Lion and Mavericks. A comparison of the results will provide some clarity on the matter. I will run this test and report the results when I have them. Probably mid-next week. Feel free to ping me if you dont hear from me by then.

Hi,

Wanted to check in about Mac OS X and any effects on recon-all that I may not be aware of. A while back the Mac was updated to 10.9.2 from some other version of 10.x.x. I ran half of my recon-all on 10.x.x, and am running my 2nd half on 10.9.2. The update was due to some IT person thinking the older version had security flaws.

Will I need to rerun all of my subjects on 10.9.2, or has there been no reported differences between these two versions?

Thanks,

• Bryan
