> Hi,thanks, I tried again and it worked fine. The unwarp directory and
GUI are both looking good. I think it's because the intensity of my
prepared fieldmap is not right the first time. I have input a fieldmap
intensty of -pi to pi then and it didn't work.

I have rechecked that my fieldmap would be similiar to the
phase-difference map in the fsl practical. It worked after I have prepared
it as in the instructions on the practical. However, i noticed I get
different results if I prepare it slightly differently from the
suggestions on the email list.

I have posted a question about which way and order to best calculate and
prepare the fieldmap in another email i posted today "Order of preparing
Phase_Difference Map to rad/secs". Can I ask you this question on this
email regarding this?

 I get these 2  fieldmaps which are similiar in calculations but of
different order of calculation and unwarping, and hence different
intensities.

The first way has a phasedif map of 0 to 4094 intensity range). It is
rescaled to -pi to pi, then unwarped in prelude, then changed to rad/sec
by div on the TE dif (0.00246). The resulting fieldmap  has an intensity
range of -3165.861328 to 2801.69702.
The second way has a phasedifmap of -4096 to 4092 intensity. It is
rescaled by dv 4096, -mul by 3.14 then div 0.00246, followed by prelude.
The resultant fieldmap has intensity -2801.073486 to 2790.472900.

 I'm not sure which one would be the more correct way, or if it doesn't
matter? The undistorted dti  using 1st way of preparation from the fsl
practical instructions is a bit more undistorted than the results of the
2nd one in the -y direction ( unwarped direction). Why that would be the
case?

Thanks
