Hi Mithun,
if you can send us the output from mri_convert/talairach that fails, and we'll take a look.
cheers, Bruce

Hi everybody,
I am trying to run segment_subject on one run of data which was originally in BRIK format and then converted to COR using mri_convert. In the initial registration to talairach process, mincinfo can't seem to read the .mnc file that mri_convert gave it. As a result the talairach.xfm transformation matrix is not created by mritotal. The remaining procedures continue but I'm not sure if the registration to talairach space worked. I checked the file permissions on orig.mnc and that doesn't seem to be the problem. Is the COR to .mnc conversion the source of the error ?
I tried reading the image information from "orig.mnc" independently with mincinfo but that didn't work either. Below are the error logs for both mincinfo and segment_subject.
Thanks for your help. Mithun
