Thanks for the reply, Nick. I think you correctly identified the problem. nu.mgz is oriented correctly, but looks very dark... However, it looks decent if I adjust the brightness/contrast.... I have other scans that were processed without error, and the orig.mgz, and nu.mgz also appear quite dark (and the mri peaks are very low, too: 29, 46, 52, ...) Also, for those successfully processed, the brainmask.mgz looks decent as well. Perhaps this scan that exited with error was too dark to be corrected by the intensity normalization algorithm?
