Hi Vasanth,

your orig.mgz hasn't been conformed. That is, it should be 1mm isotropic in a 256^3 volume, but it's not:

 mri_info /autofs/space/boba_001/users/nrecon/ARSS70_nrecon/mri/orig.mgz
Volume information for /autofs/space/boba_001/users/nrecon/ARSS70_nrecon/mri/orig.mgz
          type: MGH
    dimensions: 256 x 256 x 128
   voxel sizes: 1.0000, 1.0000, 1.3300
          type: FLOAT (3)
           fov: 256.000
        xstart: -128.0, xend: 128.0
        ystart: -128.0, yend: 128.0
        zstart: -85.1, zend: 85.1
.
.
.

how did you generate it?

Hi,

I am using recon-all and the norm.mgz's so far are only about half the brain. I checked the input volumes and looked though the output to std and everything seemed fine, so I am not sure what to do:



on machine vader

source /usr/local/freesurfer/nmr-std-env
setenv SUBJECTS_DIR /autofs/space/boba_001/users/nrecon/

which mri_ca_normalize
/usr/local/freesurfer/stable/bin//mri_ca_normalize

cd /autofs/space/boba_001/users/nrecon/ARSS70_nrecon/mri

mri_ca_normalize -mask brainmask.mgz nu.mgz /usr/local/freesurfer/stable/average/RB_all_2006-02-15.gca
transforms/talairach.lta norm.mgz

But when I look at norm.mgz, the whole brain is not shown:
tkmedit -f /autofs/space/boba_001/users/nrecon/ARSS70_nrecon/mri/norm.mgz

I checked the inputs brainmask.mgz and nu.mgz, and they seem ok:
tkmedit -f /autofs/space/boba_001/users/nrecon/ARSS70_nrecon/mri/brainmask.mgz
tkmedit -f /autofs/space/boba_001/users/nrecon/ARSS70_nrecon/mri/nu.mgz

how do I check if the transforms/talairach.lta is ok?



Thanks,
Vasanth
