Dear Tracula Users
I completed trac-all -prep -c without difficulty or errors. However, without any changes to my director structure or my Tracula config file I am receiving the following errors when running trac-all -bedp -c. I will copy and past my config file contents below the error messages. Please advise.

Hi Anastasia
If I have T1 data available in my FS subject directory and I have
Use brain mask extracted from T1 image instead of low-b diffusion image? # Has no effect if there is no T1 data # Default: 1 (yes) # set usemaskanat = 1
then will the B0 brain mask we spoke of below be used?

Hi Deryk - This variable is only used to average lowb images to create a mask, so in your case you can set it to 2 and it'll just use the first 2 volumes from your nii file. Sorry for the confusion!

Dear Tracula Users
Does Tracula assume that the number of B0 scans, specified in Step 7.3 of the config file tutorial (below), are the first X number of volumes in the 4Dnii.gz file or will the Tracula routines know from the bvals file where the B0 scans are ordered in the file? For example, I have two runs of 16 directions + 2 B0s each for each of my subjects. I have merged the two runs together and the resulting file has the volumes ordered such that the bvals are entered into Tracula as follows:
0 0 1000 1000 1000 etc 0 0 1000 1000 1000 etc
My question pertains to the following part of the Tracula config file:
Step7.3: Specifying Number Of low-b Images The last step to set up if not using original DICOMs would be to specify the number of low-b images with the following variable:
set nb0 = *No. of low-b images* Thank you in advance for your help. Cheers, Deryk
