Excuse me for disturbing you. I have some questions about dti data analysis in FDT toolbox. Now I have 4d nii file with (+ 2 txt's: b-values and gradient directions) getting after the convertation process from 299 dicom files (12+1 directions) I have finished the eddy current correction (reference vol: 0) process and now I'm starting the "DTIfit" I use the b0 image (raw, not corrected) as a nodif_brain_mask (is it ok?). And could you give me advice how could I correctly get 3d mask image from 4d nii? (It is probably due to my lack of experience... Sorry) And... There are many extra-brain signals in my FA-maps getting after the processing... Is it ok? P.S.: I've found the worm ("Scano.F") in the "FSL practicals" (3rd archieve)... -- Thank you beforehand Best Regards Alexander Lebedev.
