Hi Kasper,

if you use the same file formats and conversion tools across both time points, the images should be identical. Even after conversion to nii. Not sure why they are not.

Yes, both warnings are related to the acquisition parameters. The second should better say that header information is different or something like that. I see if I can improve that error message to be more specific in a future release.

Best, Martin

Hi Bruce,

Thank you for your reply.

Initially a PAR/REC file was used to obtain an anat.nii file. This is used to create the [CROSS]. Two timepoints ([CROSS-1] and [CROSS-2]) was used to create the [BASE].

  * Is it because there is too many file formats, and if so, how
    should this be managed? Is it possible to run freesurfer directly
    from the PAR/REC file?
  * Is the “Image geometries differ across time” related to the
    difference in acquisition parameters mentioned in the warning?

Best regards

    Hi Kasper

    what was your input volume? The .02sec change in TR won't mean
    anything,
    although it is a bit surprising to see, as is the fact that the other
    parameters (flip angle, TE, etc...) don't seem to be preserved. We
    usually
    read those right out of the dicom files if that is what you used
    as input.
    Not sure why we would preserve the TR but not the other parameters.

    cheers
    Bruce
