Aha. OK, omitting -no-resample, as below, outputs a well registered, but downsampled, anatomical file. What should I change to output a well registered anatomical file with the same dimension and voxel size as the original anatomical? If this was in the mri_vol2vol help, it was not clear to

Thanks. The tkregister2 check gives some new information. The initial registration is not very bad when checked in tkregister2. Also, the final registration is perfectly acceptable when checked in tkregister2, so my original question needs clarification. What I want to do is to use the

Why are you using --no-resample? This will keep the anatomical in the 256^3 space (it just changes the header). doug Hansen, Kathleen (NIH/NIMH) [F] wrote: Thanks. The tkregister2 check gives some new information. The initial registration is not very bad when checked in tkregister2.

Thanks for the suggestions. It is whole-brain epi data. Unfortunately, it was not acquired at the same time as the anatomical. Just for the heck of it I tried substituting --init-header for --init-fsl anyway, and got the same warning about negative G-W contrast. -Kathleen On 8/19/10 2:39

That warning in and of itself is not critical, but it does suggest that the initial registration failed. I assume the registration still looks bad? Does this happen on a bunch of data sets or just this one? There are a couple of more steps. First, you can run with --init-fsl and check the

It may have been the initialization that failed. Was the epi acquired at the same time as the anatomical? If so, you might be able to run it with --init-header. Also, is this whole brain or partial field of view? doug On 8/19/10 1:50 PM, Hansen, Kathleen (NIH/NIMH) [F] wrote: Hello, The
