You will definitely get systematic differences between using T2 and not,
so you could have a false positive (or negative) if you are comparing
those two groups. On the other hand, you probably changed the T1
protocol a lot between now and 10 years ago, so you are likely to have
bias either way.

Dear FreeSurfer Team,
We have collected T1 and T2 images in our study and running recon-all
with T2 gives us much better results (it was really good to see it).
Our aim is to compare these structural data (in Group A) to another
patient group (Group B). The problem is that the data of Group B was
collected 10 years ago and we did not have a T2 in that study.
I am wondering what would be the best approach? Maybe we should not
use T2 in Group A because we do not have a T2 in Group B? Or if we do
the manual corrections correctly in Group B, this should not be a problem?
I am using Freesufer 7.1.1
Thank you for your answer! I greatly appreciate it.
All the best,
Eszter Boros
