You could try affine first and initialize the deformable registration with 
that. Something like:

mri_synthmorph -m affine fa.nii.gz template.nii.gz -t affine.txt
mri_synthmorph -m deform -i affine.txt fa.nii.gz template.nii.gz -o 
fa_in_MNI.nii.gz

Alternatively, assuming your T1 is aligned with the FA map, you can run the 
above on the T1, save the warp with `-t warp.nii.gz` in the second call, and 
apply it to the FA map:

mri_warp_convert -g t1.nii.gz --inras warp.nii.gz --outm3z warp.m3z
mri_convert -at warp.m3z fa.nii.gz fa_in_MNI.nii.gz

Dear Malte
Thank you so much. I've tried both rigid and affine transformations, and I've 
attached a snapshot that shows how the CC doesn't fully overlap with the 
template. I'm using a high-quality DTI image and am wondering if incorporating 
a T1 image would help improve the registration. I'm not sure how to apply a 
two-step registration, if that's even possible, using mri_synthmorph. Thanks 
for your guidance.

Best,
John

Hi John,

Currently, the default transformation model is "deform". Could you check if 
"affine" yields a better result?

mri_synthmorph -m affine fa.nii.gz template.nii.gz -o fa_in_MNI.nii.gz

Cheers,
Malte

Dear Freesurfer experts,
I processed DTI data using dt_recon, and I want to register FA images to the 
standard MNI152 space. However, after running the command
mri_synthmorph fa.nii.gz template.nii.gz -o fa_in_MNI.nii.gz,

the registration is not accurate. I'm not sure what I've done wrong. Thank you 
for any guidance.

sincerely
J
