This should be fine... The only thing you need to do is to present your data *exactly* the same way fslvbm_1_bet would have prepared them: copy all your original T1w images from the FSLVBM directory in a struc/ sub-directory with the extension _struc and all the brain extracted ones with _struc_brain. So if you've got two images in your FSLVBM directory called exam01.nii.gz and exam02.nii.gz, you will have: /FSLVBM/struc/exam01_struc.nii.gz /FSLVBM/struc/exam02_struc.nii.gz /FSLVBM/struc/exam01_struc_brain.nii.gz /FSLVBM/struc/exam02_struc_brain.nii.gz Cheers, Gwenaelle __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
