Dear Jesper,


Thank you for your useful response and help. Also I apologize for "tar", 
surely I would use your advice. Actually, I have some doubts which I need 
your help. 
1- Is the exciting of these ghosting would be problematic in next processing 
steps (for example: tensor estimation and tractography) ??
2- If it would be problematic, so what do you suggest to solve it ?
3- Do I need GPU in case of using "eddy" (with -jacobian) instead of 
applytopup ? actually I used and it ran without error just the message "eddy 
is running in GPU mode" appeared, but the image is completely gray! also 
changing the rang did not work!
4- what did you use as input of the --imain in the "applytopup" ? I mean 
that, "b0_RL+ all dir of dwi_RL , b0_RL+ all dir of dwi_RL"  or all dir of 
dwi_RL & all dir of dwi_RL" ? since b0 volumes where corrected in topup
5- Some volumes of the DWI image contains bvals =5, am I supposed to split 
them from the each phase encoded DWI image and merge with corresponding b0 
then, perform "topup" on the new merged b0 images? 


Regards,
Mahshid

Subject: Re: [FSL] ghosting appears when performing topup command on b0 
images

Dear Mashid,


I have a data-set including phase encoding (1b0+80 dir RL & 1b0+80 dir LR). 
Using default config file b02b0.cnf (included in attachment), an image with 
ghosting around brain was appeared. I also tried to change the values of the 
--warpres but the results got worse.


I had a look at your data and ran topup on it. The results look perfectly 
fine to me, given the input data. The ghosting has not appeared as a 
consequence of topup. There are two bands (one in slices 31-38 and one in 
slices 62-90) with severe ghosting in your input data. topup only deals with 
the distortions, and will not do anything about the ghosting.


I also had no problem with applytopup on your data. I think in an earlier 
version of applytopup the display range was not set correctly, but that 
would only affect the initial range that fslview (and I assume that fsleyes 
does the same) displays your data with. Try changing your display range and 
I think you will see it has worked fine.


For future reference. If you stick all your files in a tar-ball before 
uploading them you will save time both for me and yourself. If you are not 
familiar with tar, just google “linux tar” and there will be lots of 
information.

I don't know what is the main problem! I would appreciated if any one could 
help me with the resulted problem.

Mahshid
