Thank you, Doug! So here's what I've tried now.

I want to confirm first that this is the only subject that is failed so far. I re-ran it in a different subject folder name and it failed too.

I ran it again without the -3T option and failed as well with the same error (attached the log file "named with _no3T").

This is a part of patient population that was acquired at Bay 6, and this subject (that failed) has a huge aliasing effect. I corrected it by centering the image. we have few subjects who has this effect but were not as big as this subject.

Thank you so much for taking the time to look into this.

Best,

Meena

I don't generally discourage it, but I don't think many people use it,
and so it might not be maintained that well. But the error you are
seeing appears to be that the mritotal program cannot be found (not a
computational problem or problem with your data). But it is strange that
you could run it with your other subjects; I would have thought that it
would have failed for all of them. Can you re-run one of your subjects
that failed (put it in a different subject name folder). You don't need
to run the whole thing, just until it fails or
subject/mri/transforms/talairach.xfm has been created.

Also, I looked at your data and noticed that the subject's head is at a
rather extreme angle relative to the bore. Is this typical for your
subject set? It could be causing a problem with the program doing the
registration.
