Hi Zhennan if you run recon-all on any dataset it will create an example for you. The talairach.m3z maps the volume into the atlas coords. If it is oriented incorrectly then that would explain your problem. You can also use mri_info to see the direction cosines of the various volumes cheers Br

Dear Bruce, Thank you very much for your suggestions. I have fixed the reslicing problem and I am still trying to use mri_ca_label to relabel sub-cortical structures in my data. Now the program output a new seg, but the display of "tkmedit mysubj norm.mgz -segmentation new_seg.mgz $FREESURFER_

Dear Bruce, Thank you very much for your reply. I can convert my labels to Freesurfer labels and try the mri_ca_label now. May I ask some more questions? 1) What subjects were used to train the atlas in the current version? Were they healthy or diseased subjects? 2) How the current implementati

Hi Zhennan there is an option to mri_ca_label to read in a prior segmentation and iterate the MRF minimization, but unless your labels and conventions are identical to our's it's unlikely to work. You can use mri_ca_train to build the MRF and likelihoods and such if you want. cheers Bruce On
