Hi Irene, I would of course also suggest to run the longitudinal stream ( see wiki) to improve results.
Be aware that after 4 years you probably have all kinds of problems with your data (acquisition parameters, different calibration, different scanner software versions or even different hardware). This can change grey white contrast and other things significantly. In that case you can't really estimate and control that effect with only a single time point on either side and you might endup seeing anything in your results.
