External Email - Use Caution        

I try to describe in more detail my problems with talairach
check/correction in Freesurfer 7. In earlier versions, I used tkregister2
to check and correct talairach registration and it worked perfectly. The
green line (orig surface of the subject) was very helpful in both checking
and correcting the transformation. I can run tkregister2 under Freesurfer7
as well, but most of the buttons (scale brain, translate brain, rotate
brain) don't work, probably because tkregister2 is deprecated in FS7 (I'm
also not sure whether this error message after running tkregister2 is due
to deprecation or I should fix something: "Tcl_Init failed: Can't find a
usable init.tcl in the following directories:
/usr/pubsw/packages/tcltktixblt/current/lib/tcl8.4 This probably means that
Tcl wasn't installed properly. Tk_Init failed: invalid command name
"tcl_findLibrary" tkregister2: interface:
/media/kutato/Freesurfer/freesurfer/tktools/tkregister2.tcl tkregister.tcl:
startup done") .

- Now, two other commands are suggested for checking/fixing talairach (

(1) freeview -v bert/mri/T1.mgz -v
bert/mri/brainmask.mgz:reg=bert/mri/transforms/talairach.xfm
It loads the subject's T1 and the subject's brainmask, which is shifted
compared to T1 due to applying the transformation. For me it tells nothing
about the accuracy of talairach transform. The command also gives this
message, that may be normal: "Not reading in xfm fileinfo"

(2)  tkregisterfv --s bert --fstal --surf orig
This command gives the following error: "ERROR: cannot find
/media/kutato/Freesurfer/freesurfer/subjects/bert/surf/orig"
While tkregister2 loads lh and rh wm surfs, it seems that tkregisterfv
doesn't know the "--surf orig" option. I also tried "--surfs" option , no
error message, but the surfaces were not loaded.
It is also interesting that in tkregisterfv I see subject's volume as the
MOVEABLE volume and the Talairach volume as the TARGET volume, while in
tkregister2 I see the subject's volume as the TARGET volume and Talairach
volume as a fuzzy MOVEABLE volume.

I'd really appreciate any help regarding the above. At present, I can check
talairach using tkregister2 as earlier, but if correction is needed, I
can't solve it with tkregister2 in my FS7.

Best,
Gabor
