Re: [Freesurfer] FW: TRACULA some fiber volumes being too small
Hi Fernando - I looked at your data and changing the sign of the z coordinate in your gradient table gave me eigenvectors that looked fine in both fslview and freeview. Why you would get eigenvectors that look different in freeview and fslview before flipping z but not after is still a mystery to me, but at this point I'd just try starting clean, changing the sign in the 3rd column of your gradient table, and testing the whole pipeline on a test subject to see if that fixes things. Let me know how it goes! a.y Dear Anastasia, When I open the dtifit_V1 and dtifit_FA with Freeview the vector directions actually are OK, but when I open them with FSLview they are similar to your screen-shot. Here I also send a screen-shot with the comparison between the two softwares in each monitor.

Re: [Freesurfer] FW: TRACULA some fiber volumes being too small
Hi Fernando - Thank you for your kind words. You can indeed try the reinit option as Christofer suggested when one of the pathways looks like a single curve and not like a volume. However, because some of your other pathways in the screenshots look a bit funky too, I would also check that there was nothing wrong with the gradient directions. An easy way to check that is by looking at the eigenvectors from the tensor fit (dmri/dtifit_V1.nii.gz). Although tracula itself doesn't use tensors, if there's something wrong with the gradient directions, it'll show up in the tensor fit. If you're not sure how to check, you can upload all tracula-related directories of your subject here and I'll take a look: http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FtpFileExchange Hope this helps, a.y On Thu, 18 Oct 2012, Fernando Ventrice wrote: Dear Freesurfer/Tracula users, Finally I could successfully test Tracula and I think it is amazing what it can do automatically.

Re: [Freesurfer] FW: TRACULA some fiber volumes being too small
Hi Fernando - Thanks for uploading your data. Looking at the primary directions from tensor fit on the data that you sent me (see screenshot), they seem to be off by a 90 degree angle from what you'd expect them. This means that your gradient table is probably off as well.

Re: [Freesurfer] FW: TRACULA some fiber volumes being too small
If FSL isn't happy with the directions, that's going to be fatal b/c trac-all relies on bedpostx running properly. I'm going to look into this further to try to figure out what it is about this data that's causing the discrepancy.
