Hello,
I needed to create warp files to apply to data to create non-linear transforms quickly. My impression is that this is the appropriate sequence of transforms in order to go from DTI space to the most accurate standard space:
DTI --(flirt)--> T1 --(flirt)--> MNI --(fnirt)--> MNI non-linear
However, the fnirt command allows for the inclusion of a linear transform step, --aff, so I did the following:
DTI --(flirt)--> T1 --(fnirt with --aff T12MNI_mat)--> MNI non-linear
And I used fnirt's --jout command to create a warp for quicker use with the same subjects in the future. My question: given that I used the --aff command in fnirt in the same step used to create the --jout, does the --jout warp now include the affine step or not?
I ask because I was getting wildly incorrect transforms when using applywarp (with the above described--jout warp) AND the --premat T12MNI_mat. However, when I ONLY use the --jout warp on my T1 data it looks fine.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Zak
