External Email - Use Caution Thanks for your reply Douglas,
I am trying co-register the Diffusion data onto the original structural MRIs. I have tried bbregister and mri_vol2vol but the results are not great. I realized that the diffusion data have a lot of distortions, so the rigid and/or affine co-registration is not sufficient. Do you recommend performing a non-rigid registration in this case? If you do, do you know of any ways to do that within Freesurfer?

Are you trying to account for B0 distortion in the DTI? If you have a B0 map, you can pass that to bbregsiter and mri_vol2vol to account for it On 4/16/18 10:29 AM, Hedyeh Javaheri wrote: > Hello all, > > I am performing DTI analysis and wanted to know if Freesurfer has a > tool for non-rigid registration. > I performed recon-all and dt_recon on my subject and then used the > register.dat file that was generated by dt_recon to convert the > dt_recon output files back into the space of my orig.nii file from the > recon-all output.
