Hi Matt,

could you please explain me: you take one flirt matrix and you use it to
rotate components of the whole bvecs? While this could be correct for
rotating gradient component of, say 5th DTI image with respect to the
reference, the 10th image may be rotated differently than the 5th one.

Thanks,

Martin
