Hi Ken, you should always look at the output from the …long.base directories, those are the final outputs. Looks to me that you are looking at the cross sectional produced surfaces from the first stage. Those will be - in different spaces (as the heads are in different positions in the

Hi Gregory, If looking at longitudinal changes, I would use uncorrected ROI volumes. You could consider including ICV as a covariate (for offset and slope interaction, to test if ICV has an effect on your slopes). Best, Martin On 05/19/2017 04:44 PM, Gregory Book wrote: In writing a paper

In writing a paper of longitudinal changes in a large heterogeneous population with no group comparisons, what would be considered "more important" to include: absolute ROI volumes, or volumes corrected for ICV? Using ICV corrected volumes makes sense when comparing groups, but when just

Hi Gonzalo, yes, exactly, you only look at the *.long.* folders. Take a look at this page: http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/LongitudinalStatistics specifically if you have 2 time points for all subjects, you can use the tools for analyzing slopes:

In terms of just giving it a name, it should not matter since all of the time points are treated equally in the longitudinal stream. When you go to analyze it, the order will make a difference (and I assume you'll use phase). doug On 05/07/2012 11:59 PM, lordowen wrote: Hi all: We performed a

Hi, I'd recommend to use time for the order when processing. The order of time points is not relevant in the longitudinal stream but this way the design is more balanced. Best Martin On May 7, 2012, at 23:59, lordowen lordowe...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all: We performed a thickness change

Hi all: We performed a thickness change study which related to the menstrual cycle. We scanned subjects during different menstrual phases in a counterbalance manner. Thus when we conduct a longitudinal analysis, we need to set time point according to the actual scanning order (i.e., 1st scan as

Hi Linda, we haven't found any problems in that age range. Down to 3 years old is probably fine, although if you were scanning that young there might be some things we would advise. 1l years old is no problem though. cheers, Bruce On Tue, 13 Nov 2007, Linda.E Campbell wrote: Hi, I am
