Hi,
The option to do it the old way is still there - however, raw
diffusion data is considerably coarser and noisier in general than
the new template that we are providing, so I would expect that it is
often better to use our template. In practice we have found that it
makes little difference either way for reasonable quality data, the
main difference then being that if you have more than about 15
subjects the total registration time is a lot lower with the new
template as you only have Nx5hrs instead of NxNx20mins.
Cheers, Steve.
