[Mristudio-users] A conceptual question on using B0 from different scans.

[Rosalia Dacosta Aguayo]

Dear Dorian,

I am sorry, but I thinj just the same. Pre and post surgical images would
be different. When assesing this kind of subjects, you expect to find
differences and the behavioral and functional consequences. It would not
have sense using thd same B0 image because it would be insensitive to these
changes that are the interesting question to speak about.

Best regards,
Rosalía
