Hi Tibor, well if you angulate your slices the bvecs >may< change. Also the effective bvecs depend on the bmatrix. You can generate / simulate 'optimal' bvecs using camino: http://web4.cs.ucl.ac.uk/research/medic/camino/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Home Page Cheers, Andreas Von: "Auer, Tibor M.D. Ph.D." <[log in to unmask]> Antworten an: FSL - FMRIB's Software Library <[log in to unmask]> Datum: Wed, 19 Oct 2011 21:35:10 +0200 An: <[log in to unmask]> Betreff: Re: [FSL] Philips DTI gradient table Dear Jesper, Thank you for your fast reaction. Are not they scanner-independent? I just need the files required for dtifit.

I am not sure whether it is only a preset factory or a special sequence. The real question is that I need bvecs file for the analysis (bvals is obvious J). Could someone send me bvecs for 32 (high) and 16 (medium) directions?
