Hi Emily

Indeed you need a recent version of EDDY to get the rotated bvecs. 

As for your issue, it seems to me that rather than it being a difference between servers A and B, could it not be a difference in the data?  You say you are doing denoising, but have you checked that the program you are using is not somehow changing e.g. the header info?  Maybe you could try running the same command on the same data in both servers to check that it is not a software issue?

Cheers,
Saad

I first ran the data on server A and everything looked great - bvecs rotated, tractography is beautiful. But I decided to do denoising first so I transferred the raw niftis to server B and now running eddy after topup I am not getting rotated bvecs. I get the *.eddy_parameters file and unwarped volumes, but no bvecs.

I've read about issues with radiological/neurological convention, but I must be having a different issue.
