Dear list,

we are currently  working with some longitudinal data where we would 
like to measure volume changes over time and compare the cross-sectional 
and longitudinal stream on.

When we run the cross-sectional stream and just look at changes of eTIV 
within subjects over a period of 6 months to a year we get 3-4 subjects 
out of 110 that have eTIV changes of 20-30%. I've double checked the 
tailarach transforms using the talairach_afd tools and also manually 
checked the transforms with tkregister. Everything seems to be ok.

I know when using the longitudinal stream we can use the single eTIV 
value for volume correction, but for comparison in case of the 
cross-sectional stream we want to use the single time point values of eTIV.

Any ideas what else I can check or is this simply noise transferred from 
the linear estimation of eTIV?

Cheers,

Mel
