Thank you! Then I guess I would use the volume as the transform file to convert my mask.

You need to specify an actual file name. I also think you are better off using mri_convert -at <transform file name> .... to map the mask into the right coordinate system so that you can then view it in freeview to make sure it is correct cheers Bruce On Thu, 17 Aug 2017, Yagmur Ozdemir 19 wrote: > The mask in volume format was created using a docker image and it works well > both with my freesurfer origin and native volume files; the one that it > doesn't align with is the volume file I am trying to adapt to/from a > different software.
