Hi Taha - Trying getting a .dat registration file from bbregister and using that as the input to mri_vol2surf. There's a multimodal tutorial on the freesurfer wiki that might be of help.

Hello All, I am trying to project FA map (dtifit_FA.nii.gz) and the endpt[1/2].pd.nii.gz from TRACULA onto fsaverage surface space. I was following instructions on http://web.mit.edu/fsl_v5.0.8/fsl/doc/wiki/FDT(2f)UserGuide.html, under FreeSurfer Registration, to create the various xfms files. Next, I registered the FA map to subject conformed space using flirt * flirt -in dtifit_FA.nii.gz -ref ../../mri/orig.nii.gz -applyxfm -init ./xfms_taha/fa2freesurfer.mat -out fa2FS.nii.gz Then, I used mri_vol2surf to project the registered FA map onto fsaverage surface with the following command. * mri_vol2surf --mov fa2FS.nii.gz --projdist-max 6 6 1 --cortex --hemi rh --trgsubject fsaverage --regheader taha_brain --reg ./xfms_taha/fa2freesurfer.mat --o FA_2fsavg_surf.mgh Upon viewing in freeview the fsavg rh.white surface and fa2FS.nii.gz (FA map in FreeSurfer space) did not allign properly. I have tried some variations wtihout any luck. I used the following command line for freeview. * freeview -f /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/fsaverage/surf/rh.white:overlay=FA_2fsavg_surf.mgh -v fa2FS.nii.gz * Attached are some pics of the FA confomred map and fsaverage.rh.white surface Do I need a xfm file for taliarch allignment? Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.
