Hi Doug, thanks for the tip. I'm making a script to go in and grab the final cost from each subject's registration and display it in a table. Just to make sure, have I highlighted the correct Cost function below?  This is from the log file produced by bbregister --surf-cost
Thanks again, Daniel

you can run bbregister using the b=0 image as input. The final cost
function value should beless than .9, if it is more than that then it
probably means you have an LR flip.

Dear Freesurfers,

I am trying to perform probabilistic tractography (FSL Probtrackx) between seed and target VOIs made with Freesurfer's recon-all (T1) and dt_recon (DW) pipelines.

I have the original T1 DICOMs, however, I only have the DW NIFTI image volumes.  I do not know how the DW DICOMS were converted to NIFTI and am worried about L-R flipping.

Within Mango, I have found the T1 images converted with mri_convert are (X+,Y-,Z+).  The DW NIFTI is (Y-,Z-,X-).  mri_info gives me a lot of information that, unfortunately, I do not entirely understand.

Can you recommend a way for me to verify consistent orientation in both my T1 and DW images?  Thank you!

Cheers,
Daniel
