Hi again,I still have a doubt about how to proceed with the processing of my images. Correcting my original response to the format of my images: I ran recon -all -all with NIFTI images (but converted from analyze format). I have converted this by opening them with MRIron and saving as NIFTI.gz (compressed). Should this still produce a talairach failure? If yes, is there any way to convert my analyze images to a compatible format to FS? Sorry that I am going back to the original question, but I just found out from the technicians and our department automatically receives all scans in analyze format. Thank you for your support,Pablo

I just noticed that my images are in Philips format. Would you recommend to convert to DICOM anyway? Or should I used NIFTI?Thanks,Pablo Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2013 12:31:09 -0400 From: fis...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu To: pablon...@hotmail.com CC: freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] Talairach Failure Detection yes, definitely.
