Hi Juergen, how are you judging whether a volume is flipped or not? The freesurfer tools should display properly regardless of the qfactor as long as the qform matrix is correct. doug

When the NIFTI q-factor is positive in my T1-w. and DTI images, then the left and the right hemisphere seem to be flipped. Thanks in advance Regards Jürgen Hänggi -- Douglas N.
