Thanks Doug, In the dt_recon help,

The file looks similar to one in $FREESURFER_HOME/diffusion/mgh-dti-seqpack However, I am still not sure about bvalues. > The bvalues are in a simple text file, one for each direction > (including b=0). I think I'm using b-value=700, and I have 64 directions. Should I have b-values for each of the 64 directions? Then the text file should have 64 rows and each row has the same value?
