Dear Kelly,

> I'm experiencing an error with topup when the phase encoding has been done along the z-axis (F>>H and H>>F). The error is:

> Exception thrown with message: Topup: msg=TopupScan::TopupScan: third element of pevec must be zero

normally it makes no sense to have PE in the z-direction (one will get data wrap-around) which is why it is disallowed. The exceptions to this rule that I have seen have been monkeys in “sphinx”-position.

Yes, that is what we did with those “sphinx” data.
