deterministic tractograohy is nice to get an overview of the data, although bedpostx/probtrackx tends to be better for everything else in general (unless your research is in diffusion imaging)
In both cases it's wise to carefully consider what the data actually represents. which is documented.
dti tracking or qball if you have the data can be processed and tracked determisitically in pretty 3d etc using trackvis. you don't need to worry about voxel ordering etc anymore. it's interoperable with raw fsl 4d data -++.
just transpose the bvecs for trackvis, copy, paste into trackvis gui and thats it. probably.
you can even apply a flirt .mat linear transform to the trackvis tracks. docs @ fsl and trackvis site.
if you have 60+ gradients you could try qball in trackvis and bedpostx in fsl. odf a *tad* more involved than tensors in trackvis. but making tensors + tracks v easy.
you can use the masks that you make for fsl as roi in trackvis without alteration. use the binary no-dif-brain mask as 2nd threshold volume for trackvis dti/odf recon.
you'd be way better off with trackvis than misusing fsl. and although they don't interoperate they are on speaking terms.
