That probably means that the registration is way off. As an experiment, try running it with --regheader to see if it looks more reasonable (eg, something that looks like a brain regardless of how far off the registration is). Can you send the talairach.xfm?

Hi Bruce,

Yes, I can get tkregister2 to run properly, but the "moveable" image is just a single bright line.  When I try to scale, translate, rotate, etc., the line will move a little bit.  But it is still just a single line, instead of a volume to compare with the target image. 

Have you seen anything like this before? 

Thanks,
Tricia

Hi Tricia,

when you say "to no avail" what do you mean? Have you been able to get
tkregister2 to run properly?

cheers
