Saad, thank you very much - that worked! Cheers, Kristin From: Saad Jbabdi <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Reply-To: FSL - FMRIB's Software Library <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Date: Wednesday, 7 May 2014 10:05 To: "[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>" <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Subject: Re: [FSL] Calculating FA from tract in subject T1 space Hi You can transform the fdt_paths file onto diffusion space using either flirt or applywarp (command line) or ApplyXFM (GUI). Then you might need to threshold/binarise your result (with fslmaths) before you feed it to fslstats. Cheers Saad.

After I select the T1-to-diffusion space transform .mat file and click go, the output is a tract that fits well on the subject's T1 brain. However, when I try to calculate/extract the mean Fractional Anisotropy (FA) value of the tract from the FA map (dti_FA.nii.gz), there is an error as the resulting tract is not in the same space as the FA map (FA is in diffusion). When registering the tract to diffusion space using SPM, the resulting tract fits well on the FA brain. However, when I calculate the mean FA of the tract (using fslstats dti_FA.nii.gz -k fdt_paths.nii.gz -M), I still get the following error: ERROR:: Empty mask image 0.000000 Is there a way to best register/transform the tract back to diffusion space and calculate FA? Or is it best to stick to tractography in diffusion space for the purposes of calculating FA? Any advice is much appreciated!
