Kirsh,
It is my understanding that, regardless of the input image, FSL will convert it to match the registered/target image.
So, if your raw image was 1*1*1 and the template image is 2*2*2, your final image will indeed be 2*2*2.
If I am wrong someone please correct me. It is for this reason that we have developed our own template isovoxeled image.

Subject: [FSL] Negative voxel dimensions and Flirt/Fast
Hi there,
I've got myself into some laterality difficulties with negative voxel
dimensions. Let me explain what I did:
1) Using flirt I registered a radiological axial volume to the FSL T1
template. avwhd now reports that this has voxel dimensions of -2,2,2 mm
which is correct I think.
2) I took the registered volume generated in the above step and passed it
through Flirt to generate segmentation maps. avwhd now reports that the
voxel dimensions for the segmented images are 2,2,2 which I don't think is
correct as they should be the same as the input image.
Is the above behaviour expected? It causes me some problems because my
software, mri3dX, assumes that if you overlay one volume on another and
their horizontal voxel dimensions have different signs, then it needs to
flip the laterality of the overlay. In the case of the above, this is
clearly not the case.
All the best,
Krish
