Hi Dr. Greve,
Thank you very much for getting back to me so promptly. If memory
serves me right, I am pretty sure that the orientations were incorrect
in tkmedit but will double check soon. Based on what you are saying
and based on what I read in the wiki about mri_convert it seems that I
will be able to change all of my nifti files using mri_convert and
then I can use the newly generated niftis to run reconall? Is this
correct?
Yes
As I am very new to FS, I don't know what it means to give it an
orientation string? Is there some documentation where I can look this
up further?
If you run mri_convert without options it will print out a bunch of
text. Info about the orientation string is in there
In any case, thank you very much and I will keep you posted!
Best,
Reema

To check whether the orientation is correct, you can view it in
freeview
or tkmedit. When you click on the axial view it should show up
axially,
etc. Though you cannot tell whether it is left-right reversed this
way.
You cannot feed it a matrix, but you can specify the direction cosines
on the mri_convert command line (-iid, -ijd, -ikd). You'll have to
play
with it a bit. You can also try giving it an orientation string
instead.
if you run mri_convert without any options, then it will give you lots
of documentation.
