Hi Saad, I used ExploreDTI to preprocess my data and also used this software to convert the DTI *.mat files to the RD,MD and AD *.nii files. I have 15 direction data with a b-value of 800 but I haven't looked at the bvals for this subject - do you know how I could check this? Should I look at the b-matrix? Do you know what the normal intensity ranges for non_FA data should be? I could exclude this subject from analysis. However, the intensity ranges for my FA data is normal for all of my subjects (0:1). Thank you for your help!

As you know, the minimum and maximum intensity values need to be checked before running the 'tbss_preproc' script by entering the command 'fslstats ____.nii.gz -R'. >> >> However, I'm getting strange intensity values for some subjects...

This doesn't seem normal - I would expect this (based on my Explore-DTI tractography results) to be more in the range of 0 - 0.0005. >> >> Just wondering if anyone could shed light on this: am I correct to assume that my range should be in decimals, not thousands?
