Hi Navid, it is still not clear what you want. Each surface coordinate has an xyz. This space that this xyz is in is a peculiar space defined by FS. You want to use a different xyz space. It could be scanner space. It could be col-row-slice of your axial data. Or is it that you just want to visualize the surfaces on the axial. In that case, you'll have to indicate what tool you are going to use (you cannot use tkmedit for this -- it will just conform it to 256^3).

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I make an examaple to clarify myself. I have a 256x256x128 axial image which has 0.83^3 resolution. I am intrested in generating the cortical surfaces and overlay it on this image. Freesurfer first converts this image to 256^3 voxels and 1^3 resolution and then generates the surfaces. Thus if I want to intersect freesurfer surfaces with my axial data, I can not because surface is in a different space. Is there a way to transform the freesurfer surfaces to 256x256x256 axial space? Thanks a lot for your help.
