Hi, Bruce

Thank you for the information. I will re-run recon-all using "-cm" option to see if the problem will be solved. In the mean time, do you have any suggestions regarding finding a transformation between the mismatched surfaces and the volume?

Thanks again.

Longchuan

Hi Longchuan

have you tried the -cm (conform to min) option in recon-all?

cheers
Bruce
