Hi,

If FLIRT works well on the brain extracted images, why not just use that?
Or is the brain extraction unreliable?
Also, have you tried the -usesqform option in FLIRT or cutting down the original field of view (using fslroi) to eliminate the majority of the neck?

All the best,
	Mark

Therefore I tried minc-tools. So, my question is, do you know if there are other linear registration tools (maybe in Freesurfer) that create registrations that can be used in FLIRT (with applyxfm)? Or if you have suggestions about how to get better registrations of whole head images in FLIRT, I will try that.
