Yes, it does look from the images like the L-R and A-P directions are swapped. So you can switch around the x and y columns of you gradient table and rerun the preprocessing and check the eigenvectors again. It may be some other combination of swaps that needs to be done, but the x and y looks like the most likely to me. For sure the gradient table is wrong.

I've uploaded those files as well as dmrirc and bvecs and bvals.
Let me know what you think.

Indeed, they look like they're oriented A-P in the corpus callosum and L-R in the cinglulum,
when it should be the opposite obviously. This'd mean you'd have to swap things in the gradient
table. It's hard to tell for sure from the screenshot though. If you upload the dtifit_FA and
dtifit_V1 volumes for me here, I'll look at them:

Hi Anastasia,
Thanks! I checked dtifit_FA and did the overlay with V1.
They don't look ok to me (see attached picture). Any suggestions on how to solve
this? Perhaps by modifying
any of the previous steps?
Thanks!

Hm, this looks uniformly bad. Have you checked that the gradient directions
are correct? You
can check that by looking at the eigenvectors from the tensor fit that's done
as part of the
preprocessing. Although tracula doesn't use tensors for tractography, it's a
quick way to check
that your inputs are correct.
In fslview, overlay dmri/dtifit_V1.nii.gz on dmri/dtifit_FA.nii.gz, and
display dtifit_V1 as
lines. Then make sure that the lines follow the basic anatomy e.g. in the
corpus callosum
(L-R), cingulum (A-P), corticospinal tract (I-S).

Hi,
Thanks for all the replies, I solved the problem I had before.
However, after finishing the Tracula pre-processing steps I tried to
visualize the
tracts by typing:
freeview -tv CTR01/dpath/merged_avg33_mni_bbr.mgz
And, as you can see in the picture I'm attaching to this email, it
seems the tracts
were not properly
reconstructed.
Does anyone know why?
Should I make some changes and for example set the control points
differently from
the ones proposed on
Tracula website?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
joana

Indeed. It's actually really easy to set up, too.

Thanks for the pointers, Chris. I'd call it an "opportunity for
FSL
customization" rather than an "FSL problem" per se :o)
