I'll give it a try. What should the input and output vols be if I want to use the coords to place seed points? Does it matter which vol I use?

Hi Alex,
you should get the MNI coords for all your subjects - recon-all runs the
MNI talairach procedure. Did you move things around on disk? I think there
are times that it can't find the xform anymore because it is in a different
location than when you ran recon-all. See if there is a talairach.xfm in
the subjects mri/transforms directory for one of the ones you don't get MNI
coords. If it's there and you're not getting MNI coords, try using
mri_add_xform_to_header <full path to talairach.xfm> <input vol> <output vol>
cheers,
Bruce

Hi Bruce,
I tried using the volume scanner coords (which were identical to the RAS coords), but this didn't seem to do the trick; the cutting plane was still skewed away from the true midline.
After re-running some of my images using the volume scanner coords, I've noticed that I now have the MNI coords. However, I still didn't get them for some images. Is there a flag or command that I can specify to ensure that I do obtain the MNI coords?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,
try "volume scanner coords" for the subjects that don't have the MNI
coords. Sorry, I know this is more confusing than it needs to be. In the
new version you just specify voxel coords :)

Hi,
I need to manually specify a seed point for the corpus callosum cutting plane on some of my images, although some of them don't seem to have the MNI coordiates available through clicking view >information in tkmedit. Not sure why this is the case, since other images do have this info. Specifying the RAS coord doens't fix the problem. I'm using recon-all version 1.104 2005/09/07 (I'm trying to finish off a study using the dev version and wold dearly like to avoid re-processing everyone with a newer version!!). Any help is much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Alex
