Thanks Bruce,

So I just need a warp field in .m3z format. Cool. As this distortion correction is proprietary, we don't actually get the warp fields, which is silly. But I was thinking since scanner distortions are subtle and coarse, it should be sufficient to nonlinearly register the two unsegmented images using a simple intensity-based volumetric registration at a coarse warp resolution. Would the mri_cvs_register tool be suitable for this if I supply the --step3 flag? Otherwise I am stuck with trying to go between Freesurfer and another set of tools.

Thanks!
-David

What format is the distortion field stored in? If you can get it into .m3z I believe we have tools to do what you want

One of the images is distortion corrected using a calibration phantom, put through the full freesurfer pipeline and then extensively manually edited. The uncorrected image has had zero processing. What I would like now is to have the freesurfer segmentations on the uncorrected image and preserve as much as possible the manual edits. In other words, I would like to warp the surface meshes already obtained on the distortion corrected image to the uncorrected image. Is there already a suggested method that is optimal for this purpose?
