Hello All, Thank you for the suggestions. I'll try makerot. tkregister2 looks quite promising altho I do not have freesurfer installed on the computer where the data reside. If I get stuck with makerot, I'll move my data over to where freesurfer is installed and try that next. Thank you, - BettyAnn On Thu, 5 Jul 2007 14:58:28 -0400, Doug Greve <[log in to unmask]> wrote: >If you have freesurfer installed, you can use tkregister2, something >like: > >tkregister2 --targ $FSLDIR/etc/standard/avg152T1.img \ > --mov input-to-flirt.{nii,nii.gz,img} \ > --regheader --reg junk.reg --fslregout fsl.reg > >This will bring up an interface that you can use to examine and modify >the registration.
