Hi Jon,
This would be because you are using a linear registration; the result is not poor, it is simply limited by the fact that it is affine. Try using TBSS instead (that uses non-linear registration).

Objet : [FSL] Registering FA maps to FMRIB58
Dear Experts,
What is the correct method to register FA maps to FMRIB58 space?
I tried to use the command flirt as follow:
flirt -in FA_MAP.nii.gz -ref /autofs/cluster/pubsw/2/pubsw/Linux2-2.3-x86_64/packages/fsl.64bit/5.0.7/data/standard/FMRIB_58.nii.gz -out FA_MAP.FMRIB.nii.gz -omat FA_MAPS.FMRIB.mat -bins 256 -cost corratio -searchrx -90 90 -searchry -90 90 -searchrz -90 90 -dof 12 -interp trilinear &
The results was totally depressing. When I merge the resultant FA maps ( using fslmerge -t ... ), I see that all of these registered FA maps are in FMRIB58 but they are not matching with each other ( the registration is very poor).
Any suggestions to get the optimal and best registration between these FA maps and FMRIB58 are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Jon
