Dear Lilla,
Thank you very much for your directions. Sorry I have so many questions but I am new to this type of research.
I will appreciated a lot if you confirm my understanding regarding some outputs from dtrecon:
1) Is the mask.nii a mask, a binary image of the anatomical to diffusion image of the same subject?
2) Is the mask-tal.niia mask, a binary image of the diffusion image to TAL space of one subject?
3) Is the fa-tal.nii.reg the transformation from diffusion space to TAL while register.dat is the transformation from diffusion space to anatomical space?
4) If I want to check my DTI data's registration on the anatomical structure for one of my subjects I need first to get the re-sampled image of the DTI registration data so is correct if I run: mri_vol2vol --mov /media/1Tra/Antonella_2011/DTI_FS/dtrecon/C51_dti.nii.gz \ --targ /media/1Tra/Antonella_2011/DTI_FS/dtrecon/C51.nii.gz \ --reg /media/1Tra/Antonella_2011/DTI_FS/dtrecon/C51_dti/register.dat --no-save-reg \ --o /media/1Tra/Antonella_2011/DTI_FS/dtrecon/C51_dti/C51_dti-to-C51.nii.gz \ --interp trilin
such that my resampled registered image for my DTI data to the anatomical image is C51_dti_to C51.nii.gz so in order to check if the registration is good or not I can comapre the original anatomical data C51.nii.gz with the DTI data C51_dti.nii.gz and with my registered and resampled image C51_dti-to-C51.nii.gz?
Thank you very much! Antonella

Hi Antonella,
- On the FS Diffusion Tutorial webpage I found for the Group Analysis the following scrip: GroupAnalysis.csh with the following instruction:
# Assemble input for group analysis set type = CVS-to-avg35 # alternatively could be 'TAL-to-avg35' or 'MNI-to-avg35' Can you please explain what means TAL-to-avg35 if my DTI data (FA) is by default registered on the TAL space and I got the file fa-tal.nii? How I can get the TAL-to-avg35 template? Is this different than the one on which my data was registered by default?
There is probably a typo in the tutorial. It should read # alternatively could be 'TAL' or 'MNI'
You can replace the mri_cvs_registered files with any other tools output that you want to use for your final comparison.
- Can I load my FA group data registered on TAL: group-fa-tal.nii with tkmedit?
Yes, you shoud and also with Freeview.
