Hello Alvino,
                       We are able to run siena with these options on our Ubuntu test system - so this may be an issue particular to your installation?

Kind Regards

Matthew

Dear Experts,
I'm on fsl 5.0.2 and Ubuntu 10.04.
I run bet with all options withouth problems, but when I run siena/sienax with betopt -B "-f ...." (i.e. siena input1 input2 -B "-f 0.3"), it appear this message on terminal:


-------------
Usage: siena <input1> <input2> [options]

  -o <output-dir>       : set output directory (default output is <input1>_to_<input2>_siena)
  -d                    : debug (don't delete intermediate files)
  -B "betopts"          : options to pass to BET brain extraction (inside double-quotes), e.g. -B "-f 0.3"
  -2                    : two-class segmentation (don't segment grey and white matter separately)
  -t2                   : T2-weighted input image (default T1-weighted)
  -m                    : use standard-space masking as well as BET
  -t <t>                : ignore from t (mm) upwards in MNI152/Talairach space
  -b <b>                : ignore from b (mm) downwards in MNI152/Talairach space (b should probably be negative)
  -S "sienadiffopts"    : options to pass to siena_diff timepoint differencing (inside double-quotes), e.g. -S "-s -i 20"
  -V                    : run ventricle analysis (VIENA)
  -v <mask image>       : optional user-supplied ventricle mask (default is /usr/share/fsl/5.0/data/standard/MNI152_T1_2mm_VentricleMask)
--------------------

This message don't appear with all other options (also "betops") and siena/sienax run correctly.

Thanks in advance for any helping.
