Hi Kristina - I'm assuming the 2 data sets were acquired in the same session and with the same acquisition parameters, other than the b-values? Then you can just concatenate the DWIs from the 2 runs (e.g. with mri_concat) and also concatenate the b-value and gradient vector tables (and make sure the 2 runs are concatenated in the same order for each type of file!)
Best, a.y

Hello all,
I had a question regarding the program Tracula. I have two different DTI sequences that I wish to run (b=900 and b=2000) but am unsure at which step I am suppose to merge the two sequences together.
At this point, I have pre-processed each of the sequences separately using trac-all. Should I take each of the separate trac-all output data.nii.gz files, merge them, run bedpostX, and then run the ball-and-stick model fit on the new bedpostX output? Also, is there a way to use nii.gz files in the configuration file rather than a dcm list?
Thank you in advance for your help!
