Hi Bruce,
I had tried to run recon-all on the dicoms. But the same errors show up. This image covering whole brain is obtained (Siemens 3T) actually from a monkey and looks good. Here is the header information from the dicom image. According to the suggestion in Freesurfer FAQ, I run "tkregister2 --mgz --s subj --fstal". Surprisingly, a strange image appears and looks a white line. Seemingly the brain image is rotated to a invisible orientation. Any suggestions?
Best,
Liang

can you try running recon-all directly on the dicoms? Also, it's probably pretty noisy at .5mm in-plane - how does it look? Is it whole brain?

Hi Bruce,
I run the command on a NIFTI image converted by dicom files. The image can
be skull stripped using bet in FSL, but some skulls were not removed
clearly. Here is the information by mri_info. It seems to me normal, but
several scan parameters loss. For the nifti image, I use to3d (AFNI code) to
convert DICOM to nifti format and use 3drefit to fix up correctly the
orientation.

wow, that's a completely wacky talairach xform. Did you run this straight
on the dicom images? The talairach clearly failed for some reason. Try
running mri_info on the dicoms to see if there is something strange in them

The terminal displays errors when I run "recon-all -autorecon1 -subjid
