Hi Anastasia,

OK - our imaging physicists had developed a wrapper script around epidewarp which takes our dicom images and converts them into the phase difference map (it is based on the script that was authored by Doug Greve for the fBIRN consortium). It looks like the tracula script requires dicom images. Is there a way for me to do epidewarp manually and then follow through with the remaining steps using trac-all?

Thanks,
Eileen.

Hi Eileen - That step is run with the program epidewarp.fsl, which you can
run on the command line to see the available options. The input phase map
volume is expected to have either 2 frames (2 separate phase maps) or 1
frame (the difference phase map). This error from trac-all means that it
found that your input phase map has something other than 1 or 2 frames, so
it doesn't know how to handle it.

Hope this helps,
a.y
