Dear Paul,
I think that the transform window in freeview opens by default to enable manual refinement of registration if needed.
If you are not sure, try also tkregister2. It should work to simply replace tkregisterfv by tkregister2, the command would be
tkregister2 --mov your_moveable --targ your_target --reg your_lta
or, if you registered your PET to freesurfer-processed subject and want also to display surfaces, you should use tkregister2, no tkregisterfv
(according to the freeview warning). The command in this case would be
tkregister2 --mov your_moveable --s your_subject_id --reg your_lta --surfs

Hello Antonin,
Thank
you for your quick reply. Does this mean I should close the transform
window when it opens? The alignment looks good to me, I was worried
because the transform window opened and the info on the terminal window.
I haven't used tkregister2 before. Do I replace tkregisterfv with
tkregister2 like this " tkregister2 --mov template.nii.gz --reg
template.reg.lta --surfs"? Thanks.
Best,
Paul

Dear Paul,
LTA means transformation matrix stored in .lta format.
This matrix can encode transformation between various coordinate spaces.
What
coordinate systems transform this .lta from and to is specified by
string in the .lta file. Typically this type could be vox2RAS, RAS2vox,
vox2vox or RAS2RAS. Most typically the type is vox2vox.
The explanation of coordinate systems is specified for example here:
http://freesurfer.net/fswiki/CoordinateSystems
http://www.grahamwideman.com/gw/brain/fs/coords/fscoords.htm
The
output of freeview is only info, not error, indicating that your .lta
is not of type vox2vox. I personally still use tkregister2 for checking
of registration, since the freeview does not contain full functionality
for checking transformations (see the warning). Therefore I have no
experience with tkregisterfv and consider tkregister2 still as a "gold
standard". However, if you use tkregisterfv for checkning transformation
between volumes and the output is only "info", I would guess that
everything is OK and you do not need to be bothered.
Btw, does the alignment of the images seem reasonable? How does it look in tkregister2?
Regards,
Antonin
