Basically yes, but the 3x3 submatrix can be more than just rotation and scaling (there can be shearing in a 9 degree of freedom linear transform). So the 12 DOFs are 3 rotation, 3scaling,3 shearing,3 translation. Only the translation parameters can be read directly from the matrix (as you corre

Nothing is transformed during the reconstruction. The transform is computed but not applied. If you want to transform the results into any other space, then you need a registration matrix to that space and then you can run mri_vol2vol or mri_label2vol. doug Lisa F. Akiyama wrote: > Hi FreeSurf
