For the record, I applied two changes: 1) I used my AAScout scan as --int and it worked. 2) As you suggested I also used --t2 rather than --t1 this time and it also helped. Combination of these two changes worked very well. Thanks On Tue, Sep 30, 2014 at 1:11 PM, Douglas N Greve wrote: > > A

A couple of suggestions ... It looks like the new sequence is T2 weighted, so you can try using --t2 with the white surface It may be that the fsl is not initializing the BBR registration properly. Try using spm (which may still fail because it is partial brain coverage). Do you have a whole-

Hi Doug, Sorry for interrupting you again with this topic but recently we changed couple of parameters in our MRA to increase our chance or detecting veins. The problem is that, bbregister can not register the MRA volume to T1 scans anymore. As an example, here you can see the old version

Using --t2 and --bold will always give identical results. If there is not much G/W contrast in the MRA (and there probably isn't), then you can try using the pial surface instead (maybe more GM/CSF contrast). Use --surf pial --t1. Use --t1 here because the GM will probably be brighter than CSF

Hi Surfers I want to use bbregister to register my MRA scans to the structural scans. The first attempts by using these parameters came out OK but not perfect: bbregister --s --mov MRA.nii --init-fsl --reg register.dat --bold However, there are obvious problems around frontal areas. I ha
