Hi, Doug,

Thanks a lot, at first I think it may because I use recon-all command which 
will call mri_convert ...... --conform at the motion correction step. I did a 
simple test, I ran mri_convert A.nii test_data2_orig.mgz, it gave ne something 
like,

$ mri_convert A.nii test_data2_orig.mgz
mri_convert A.nii test_data2_orig.mgz 
$Id: mri_convert.c,v 1.146.2.5 2009/04/08 18:40:23 nicks Exp $
reading from A.nii...
TR=0.00, TE=0.00, TI=0.00, flip angle=0.00
i_ras = (0.993271, 0.0255268, 0.112962)
j_ras = (0.00635944, 0.961911, -0.273288)
k_ras = (-0.115635, 0.272168, 0.955276)
writing to test_data2_orig.mgz...

I opened A.nii using fsl view and test_data2_orig.mgz using tkmedit, I input 
the same volume index and I got the
 two different views. Is it because of i_ras, j_ras and k_ras?

Sorry, I am new to FreeSurfer. Your help are highly appreciated!

Guang
