Hi Michelle - Try replacing this line: setenv /Users/michele/Desktop/tracula/sages_diff_test_tracula/SD000040_1/FSout_P00000401_e20130813_s002_Cor7minMDEFT_T1_b
with: setenv SUBJECTS_DIR /PHShome/my738/FSout (Or whatever the location of your freesurfer recons is.) a.y On Wed, 3 Sep 2014, Michele Cavallari wrote:
Hi Barbara,I checked the path. The folder with the trac-all output is is the very same folder of the dwi dicoms. Attached is the dmrirc file I am using, with all the specs.

Hope it helps, All the best, Barbara On 03.09.14 17:31, Michele Cavallari wrote: Hi Barbara, thanks again for your help. I checked the bvecs file using the 'more' command, and (as you pointed out) there was some extra text. This was likely due to MS-excel formatting, which I have used to reshape the bvecs file from row to column configuration. Such extra text was not part of the original bvecs file organized in rows though, but tracula was not giving errors as well. So, take home message#1 It is not true that FreeSurfer 5.3 allows both rows and columns configuration of the bvecs (as stated in the wiki page). Or at least that's not true for all the scanners. I'd recommend a column configuration of the bvecs, even with FreeSurfer 5.3. Also - take home message#2 verify that there's no extra text due to excel formatting in the reshaped bvecs file. That said, now this lead me to the next error! It seems that there's a problem with the recon-all output that I'm using (?). However, both the log file and the output of the recon-all processing seem fine to me. Here is the detail of the error message I am getting ERROR: fio_pushd: path/to/dlabel/mni And attached are the log files of both tracula pre-processing (with errors) and recon-all (apparently without errors). Any help/suggestions? Thanks.

But you have these symbols in the bvec-file (probably because you have extra formatting information, that is not needed and an obstacle to Tracula). more original_columns.bval 0 0 0 0 0 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 NEURO-222:tracula_help NEURO-222$ more original_columns.bvec 0 0 0 0 0 0 ^M0 0 0 ^M0 0 0 ^M0 0 0 ^M-1 0 0 ^M-0.166 0.986 0 ^M0.11 0.664 0.74 ^M-0.901 -0.419 -0.11 ^M0.169 -0.601 0.781 ^M0.815 -0.386 0.433 ^M-0.656 0.366 0.66 ^M^M-0.582 0.8 0.143 ^M-0.9 0.259 0.35 ^M-0.693 -0.698 0.178 ^M-0.357 -0.924 -0.14 ^M-0.543 -0.488 -0.683 ^M0.525 -0.396 0.753 ^M0.639 0.689 0.341 ^M0.33 -0.013 -0.944 ^M0.524 -0.783 0.335 ^M-0.609 -0.065 -0.791 ^M-0.22 -0.233 -0.947 ^M0.004 -0.91 -0.415 ^M0.511 0.627 -0.589 ^M-0.414 0.737 0.535 ^M0.679 0.139 -0.721 ^M-0.884 -0.296 0.362 ^M-0.262 0.432 0.863 ^M-0.088 0.185 -0.979 ^M-0.294 -0.907 0.302 ^M-0.887 -0.089 -0.453 ^M-0.257 -0.443 0.859 ^M-0.086 0.867 -0.491 ^M-0.863 0.504 -0.025 You are ending up with multiple columns in the second row, please make sure they are 3 columns.

Also, I think the complete trac-all.log could be even more helpful. I am a newbie myself but I am having a similar problem, so I am trying to find a solution as well :).

I checked the dwi series on a viewer and it looks fine: I have 1960 dicoms, corresponding to 56 slices x 35 directions specified in the bval/bvec. Also, I was able to obtain the FA and MD maps through fsl using the very same dicoms and bval/bvec. Any suggestion?

Seeing as you had an errormessage related to the dwi (the one about the dwi_frame.nii.gz): Did you check that your dwi data have the same amount of volumes as entries in bvec and bval?

The problem seems to be related to the bvecs file. I received the following error message: niiRead(): error opening file /path/to/dmri/dwi_frame.nii.gz I read some threads available on your website, but couldn't figured out a solution yet. I tried to organize the bvecs in columns, as opposed to the original configuration in rows. By doing that and re-launching the pre-processing command I obtained a differente error message: Error: bvecs and bvals don't have the same number of entries The original bvals and bvecs files seem to have the same numbers of entries to me. But the bvecs file produced by the processing - both the bvecs.norot and the bvecs files in the dmri folder - don't have all the information of the vectors. I am enclosing a zip folder with attachments: 1) original bvecs and bvals files organized in rows and columns 2) bvecs and bvals files generated by tracula 3) error logs Let me know if you need any other information.
