Hi Anastasia, This tool is available in (FS 5.3 and FS v6.0) as version 1.0 Beta. But in the paper that I have pointed to, the folks used the version 1.4 of this tool. That's why I am a bit confused.
Kindly, are there any tools that can help to do tractography for the corticospinal tract when T1 images are not available?
Thank you for any advice Mohamad

Hi Mohamad - This tool is *way* deprecated. It should not have been included in beta releases. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Dear Freesurfer experts,
I would like to inquire about the tool “dmri_poistats” https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/PoistatsOverview. This tool is included as a beta release ( in FS5.3 and FS 6.0).
In literature review I found colleagues used the version 1.4 of this tool. e.g. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2780023/
Kindly, I have the following two questions:
1. What is the final release of this tool?
2. I have DWI images and no T1 images are available. Is it reliable to do tractography for the corticospinal tract using this tool?
Thank you for any advice!
Mohamad
