Hi, Andreas! Thank you very much for your prompt response!

I tried doing as you suggested (to coregister the B0 image to the T2), but
the output is still problematic.

The link below give access to three files:
1) The B0 image;
2) The T2 image;
3) The output of the following:
flirt -in B0.nii.gz -ref T2.nii -out B0coreg.nii -omat invol2refvol.mat
-dof 6
(Coregistration of B0 image to the T2).

Is there is anything I am doing wrong?
