This probably means that bedpostx didn't process all the slices in your DWIs. Someone else reported something like that recently, not sure what may be causing it, but since it's independent of trac-all, I'd check on the FSL list archives.

they are not. The z dimension of the bedpost images is 52 (from FSL) and for the dmri FS images it is 72.

Can you please check that the x-y-z dimensions of the bedpostx output files are the same as the dimensions of the DWIs?

Can you please include your trac-all.log and dmrirc?

However, I was not able to get bedpost to work. After looking at other posts on the FS archive, I think the reason why -bedp does not work is because of my FSL version. I tried running bedpost on FSL and then just copying those files on my dmri.bedpost folder and using those files for reconstructing the white matter tracts. However, I get a "Segmentation Fault" error. Do you have any idea what this error may mean? My dpath folder is empty and I my trac-all.log file has no errors related to -path Thanks! -- Natalia Sánchez PhD Candidate Departments of Biomedical Engineering & Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences Northwestern University 645 North Michigan Ave, Suite 1100 Chicago, IL 60611 On Fri, Aug 10, 2012 at 5:05 PM, Anastasia Yendiki <ayendiki@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> wrote: Hi Natalia - This is an error that will occur if lowb_brain_mask does not exist. The command that generates lowb_brain_mask is "bet" - can you find that line in the log file and run it directly on the command line and see if you get an error? On a separate note, have you opted to use a DWI mask instead of an anatomical mask by setting usemaskanat = 0? If not, then it may be that it's trying to use the DWI mask b/c it can't find the anatomicals, in which case I'd check if SUBJECTS_DIR has been set properly and a freesurfer recon of the same subject exists there. But this is a separate issue than the DWI mask not being generated.

I am familiar with FSL but I am using Free surfer since i think automating the entire process, including tracking is a great advantage, but I'm just starting to get the hang of it Thanks! -- Natalia Sánchez PhD Candidate Departments of Biomedical Engineering & Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences Northwestern University 645 North Michigan Ave, Suite 1100 Chicago, IL 60611 On Fri, Aug 10, 2012 at 4:28 PM, Anastasia Yendiki <ayendiki@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> wrote: dtifit_FA.fl t.nii.gz The information in this e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.
