Can you send me an example of an image that has slices with drop-out, and for which the number of bad slices from dmi_motion is 0?

You can then check for differences in the rotational and translational motion to see if any further matching is needed.

We are not sure how to determine what the threshold value should be in order to make the dropout score no longer floor out. Any suggestions on how to better match on motion?

That's what those measures capture, and not all subjects have that. If your subjects don't have that, then there's nothing to be concerned about!

We are uncertain how to determine what the –T threshold should be. We have read through the wiki and the related papers and are confused what this number represents, how it effects the output, and the rational for selecting a specific threshold value. We have tried the default (100) and almost all of our scans have the floor values (0 and 1) for percent bad slices and average dropout score, and we are concerned that this value is most likely inappropriate for our data. We have tried other values but are unsure what a suitable threshold value should be for our data. We are concerned that this number effects the output, and want to make sure we are using an appropriate value. What is the best way to select the –T threshold and the rational for selecting one value versus another?
