Hi Giorgia
You can check if your theta/phi representation is compatible with the FDT convention by using “make_dyadic_vectors” on the merged_* files. Once you run this command, load the resulting vectors onto fslview and check that the white matter orientations look correct on all views using *vector lines* visualisation mode (i.e. not just RGB).
Cheers,
Saad

I have calculated phi and th angles for each of my 50 samples and saved them in the required merged_* files. I have checked the angles of each samples by calculating the resulting vectors and they all look correct. However, when I try to run tractography on it with probtrackx (with simple default settings), even though I don't get any error per se (all the files are read correctly), streamlines are wrong and only travel superior to inferior. Streamlines behave as if all the samples where oriented on the S-I axis, even though when I plot them, as I previously mentioned, they look fine.
