Hi,

this link:
http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/TalFailV5.1
discusses a solution to bad talairach.xfm transforms, the -use-mritotal flag.

this link:
http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/eTIV
mentions that the talairach.xfm is used to calculate the total intracranial volume.

is using mritotal likely to result in significantly different intracranial volumes even if the talairach.xfm does not appear to be very different when viewed?

thanks much,
-eric
