Doug The .nii.gz file is completely empty and doesn't come up on any viewer (fslview, tkmedit, freeview, mricron etc). The .gi files I've generated appear to be tracking in probtrackx (though slowly on my laptop - probably not expected given the sizes of the surfaces). I can also generate binary volumetric masks from the labels using mri_binarize (though they are a little bit "speckled" - with scattered blank voxels).
On my installation I'm having some intermittent difficulties with tkmedit and tksurfer (not consistently opening, sometimes coming up with "bus error"). Freeview is opening consistently though. I'm not sure if this could be having an affect but I was planning on reinstalling freesurfer today to see if that fixed it. Thank you again for your help Dan Does leftfrontallobe.nii.gz overlay properly in tkmedit? eg, tkmedit subject orig.mgz -surfs -overlay leftfrontallobe.nii.gz -fminmax .5 1 dougOn 03/26/2013 07:20 AM, Daniel Lumsden wrote: > Bruce > > Many thanks - that's given me a lot more guidance.
