Could you post your bvecs and bvals files also?
In future studies, you will want to avoid having scanner interpolation on (the cause of your highly anisotropic voxels 0.85X0.85X2.3mm), as this is not ideal for tractography studies. This is not the cause of your current issue, however.
Peace,
Matt.

Hi,
I have checked by bedpostx_datacheck, but I don't know what it means... Here is the results:

Ok, I see.
So seems that dtifit did not work...
Have you tried
bedpostx_datacheck <dtifit_directory>
?

Hi,
The white FA maps means that the FA value is 1.06592 everywhere in the brain mask, so it is quite high anisotropic.
The eddy corrected data look perfect, and the brain mask covers all the brain. As the FA maps are white, I don't continue to do the bedpostX yet.
Thank you so much!
Regards,
yan

Hi!
What do you mean by white FA maps?
Is fslstat FAmap -R [0 0]?
How do the eddy_corrected data look like? How the brain mask?
What does "bedpostx_datacheck" on the dtifit directory return?
Could you give more information, please?
All the best,
Markus

Hi,
We have some problems to make good FA maps, and L1,L2,L3,MD,V1,V2,V3...maps don't work either. We do the image preparation following your instructions, it works in most of our cases, but in 3 of them we have the white FA maps. We could view the oraginal data 32 directions without any problem, and there is not error information during the processing. We wonder if it is the problem of the old scanner version, or the wrong gradient table which FSL doesn't recognize. These three cases were examined in the machine:
Scanner software version: NT 9.1.1.3
scanner model: Gyroscan Intera
number of directions: 32
phase encoding direction: AP
