Hi Myriam,

did you check the aseg? Unless the talairach.xfm is *really* off I don't think it will have much impact, but you should visually inspect them.

Hi Nick,
I have this problem with quite a few of my subjects, usually the fuzzy
transform volume in tkregister looks smaller than the subject's brain. To
what extend should I manually edit the xfm (what criterions are mandatory
for that transform to be acceptable)?

Actually what puzzles me is that those same subjects' transforms look much
better with FS 5.1. What could explain this?

Also, what would be the impact of a bad affine transform on the subcortical
volume based stream? (my primary interrests are amygdala and hippocampus
volumes).

Thanks for your help,
Myriam

      i'm able to replicate what you see in tkmedit when the transform
      is
      created using the -use-mritotal flag.  i cant explain why this
      happens,
      and is a bit unsettling given that the -tal-check portion passed
      and the
      transform looks good in tkregister.

      the transform created by the default (not using the
      -use-mritotal flag)
      seems good enough for freesurfer purposes, and it looks correct
      in
      tkmedit (when loading the talairach.xfm), so i would suggest
      using that
      one.

      n.
