The coordinate system is not easy to explain in an email. There are 
power point slides on our wiki about the geometry used. To get from 
surface xyz to column, row, slice in the orig.mgz, first get a matrix 
from the orig.mgz with

mri_info --tkrvox2ras orig.mgz

this will be 4x4, multiply the inverse of this matrix by the surface xyz 
(adding a one to make it 4x1) to get the col, row, slice in the orig.
