Hi! It turns out the 3T scans have a lot of susceptibility artifact so it might 
not be the registration failing but more of the signal :( Unfortunately I will 
just leave out those ROIs for my analysis..

It may be that there is a lot of T2* decay around the edge of the brain.
See slide 13 from this presentation:
ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/transfer/outgoing/flat/greve/fs.multimodal-integration.ppt

To check your data, turn off the intensity normalization by clicking in
the image window and hitting 'i'. In the control window, increase the
value of "fmov" to brighten the image. It may be that there is actually
tissue outside of those areas but they are very dark. Adjusting the fmov
will also allow you to get better contrast which may help to evaluate
whether the surfaces inside the brain are correct.

ps. what was your TE and echo spacing? Is this at 3T?
