I would guess that this is because the initial affine registration is going wrong. In SPM99, a skull stripped brain does not register very well to a template image containing all the non-brain tissue. Best regards, -John | We are looking at the inhomogeneity correction of t1 image in the | segmentation part of SPM99.
