Hi Ruifeng,

FLIRT will preserve orientation labels when registering/transforming an
image - if the orientation of the FLIRT/FAST output is incorrect, then this
suggests that the orientation of the input is incorrect.

Are the orientation labels correct for both of your raw images? If not,
then you need to fix this before performing any processing. You can find
some information on this problem here:
