Hello Freesurfer,

I am trying to obtain csf, wm and gm tissue volume fraction maps that matches 
my distorted high-resolution EPIs.

Is it possible to input a displacement map to the mri_compute_volume_fractions 
command, such that the surfaces will be deformed before computing the csf, wm 
and gm tissue volume fractions? More specifically, this displacement map was 
obtained through non-linear registration of two EPIs with opposite phase 
encoding directions, using AFNI command 3dQwarp.

I could do the reverse and match the EPIs to the volume fraction maps by 
correcting distortions on the EPIs, but I am trying to avoid further 
interpolation.

I tried simply producing the volume fraction maps and then applying distortions 
to these 3d volumes, but I get some weird things. Summing all three tissue 
types gives ones everywhere, as expected, when the maps are taken as they come 
out from mri_compute_volume_fractions, but values range between 1 and 1.12 when 
the same maps are summed after distortions being applied (with AFNI command 
3dNwarpApply). I assume this is some interpolation errors (although wsinc5 
method was used).

Thanks a lot for your help, or any ideas!
Sébastien
