Hi Douglas,

Thanks for your reply.

I think I have solved the problem -- I made a silly mistake myself.....

Best,
Xiaoying

what do you mean that the result is not good? Does the freesurfer analysis look ok?

Hi Bruce and Douglas,

After I ran through the FS, I ran the following two commands:

bbregister --s T1_0145 --mov T2_0145_file1.nii --reg register.dat --init-fsl --t2 --o outvol
mri_vol2vol --mov T1_0145/mri/brain.mgz --reg register.dat --o T1_mappedToT2.nii

T1_0145 is the directory for analyzing my T1 image with freesurfer, T2_0145_file1.nii is my T2 image.

The result is not good. I am not sure whether there is some problem with my above two commands. Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks a lot.

Best,
Xiaoying

       yes, bbregister uses the surfaces generated by recon-all, so
       run it through to the end, then use bbregister.

           bbregister succeeded in running now. But I still have
           another question.

           You mentioned that "If you have a T1 that you've run
           through FS".What do you
           mean by "run through"? I just ran autorecon1 to get the
           skullstripped T1. Do
           you mean that I also have to run autorecon2 and autorecon3
           if I want to use
           bbregister?

                Do you still have version 4.1 in your path? It looks
               like it is calling an
               old version of fslregister.

                   The full name on my machine is:
                   freesurfer-centos4_x86_64-v4.1.0

                    So I think the version is 4.1.0

                        No, it's not the same what version are you
                       running?

                        Hi Douglas,

                        Thanks a lot for your suggestion.

                        It is really strange that I don't find
                       bbregister in the file foler of
                       the freesurfer on my machine. But I find a
                       program named "fslregister". Is
                       that the same?

                        If they are different, is it that I need to
                       update my version of
                       freesurfer so that I can have the program
                       bbregister?

                        Thanks a lot.

                           If you have a T1 that you've run through
                           FS and are happy with the skull
                           strip, then you can register your T2 with
                           the FS anatomical (with
                           bbregister), then map the skull stripped
                           T1 into the T2 space
                           (mri_vol2vol), then apply it to the T2
                           (mri_mask).
