Hi Martijn - You could check how the ILF of the atlas subjects aligns with your subject's anatomical segmentation. These files are all in MNI space here: dlabel/mni/aparc+aseg.nii.gz dlabel/mni/aparc+aseg_mask.nii.gz (dilated version used as a brain mask)
dlabel/mni/lh.ilf_*_histo.nii.gz

Note that any ILF streamlines from the atlas that go off the brain mask of your subject have been removed before creating the *histo.nii.gz file, so you can compare with a healthy subject and see if there's much less left in the pathological subject, and if what's there goes through the same parts of the aparc+aseg in both cases.

Hope this helps,
a.y

Thanks for your reply, sorry for the delay. The problems appear in the left
hemisphere ILF_AS. The subject has atrophy and a number of periventricular
lesions. 
Does the error indicate that set of the endpoints could not be mached? In
that case it could be that the points in the temporal pole give problems
since the original FS segmentation is a bit too tight there. Is there a way
to visualize the suspected points onto the subjects data? 

Best,
Martijn

      Hi Martijn,

      Which pathway does it fail on? Is the pathology of your subject
      affecting
      the structures in the aparc+aseg that surround that pathway?
