Dear freesurfers,

I have a general question concerning *recon-all -i*.

Suppose under the subject *Beth*, there are 256 files:

Beth1.1.ima, Beth1.2.ima, Beth1.3.ima, ..., Beth1.128.ima Beth2.1.ima, Beth2.2.ima, Beth2.3.ima, ..., Beth2.128.ima

I understand that I can use the following command to import the data

*recon-all -s Beth -i /Path_to_Beth/Beth1.1.ima* * -i /Path_to_Beth/Beth2.1.ima*

which gives 001.mgz and 002.mgz in the Beth/mri/orig/

Now what if I rename the sequence as follows,

Beth2.1.ima -----> Beth1.129.ima Beth2.2.ima -----> Beth1.130.ima ...... Beth2.128.ima -----> Beth1.256.ima

and import using *recon-all -s Beth -i /Path_to_Beth/Beth1.1.ima, *leading to 001.mgz alone.

Would it make a difference?

Thank you very much!

Sincerely, Ye
