Thanks for the info. I'm using the .grad file directly copied from our scanner. Is this the correct file to use?
I also heard (from a site using a Trio), that the gradient nonlinearity correction was only necessary on the original HCP Skyras, before Siemens fixed the gradient locations on later scanners so as not to be a problem. But I imagine that may just be rumor. -G From: Stephen Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2014 11:33 AM To: Harms, Michael Cc: Book, Gregory; [email protected] Subject: Re: [HCP-Users] gradient unwarp in preFS script Hi guys - if the brain is centred on isocentre the gradwarp on a Skyra should be about 1-2mm max within the brain.

But I'd try to get the gradient nonlinearity correction working nonetheless. You might have to do some more sleuthing to narrow down where the error is arising before someone here can attempt to assist you. Namely, which image is this referring to?

If so, the grad coefficients from a "stock" Skyra scanner will not be the correct ones for the HCP Connectom scanner (which has a completely different, customized gradient set, from a stock Skyra). In general, we recommend applying the gradient unwarping, as it can only help bring everything into true alignment. That said, the gradient nonlinearities are a particular issue for the Connectom scanner, and would be less of an issue for say a Trio. cheers, -MH -- Michael Harms, Ph.D. ----------------------------------------------------------- Conte Center for the Neuroscience of Mental Disorders Washington University School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry, Box 8134 660 South Euclid Ave. Tel: 314-747-6173 St. Louis, MO 63110 Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> From: <Book>, Gregory <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Thursday, October 16, 2014 10:00 AM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [HCP-Users] gradient unwarp in preFS script I'm continuing to fine-tune our preFS script for our data, and I'm running into trouble with the gradient unwarping step. I've obtained the .grad file from our Skyra scanner and running the HCP with it. It runs the gradient unwarp step, but seems to fail right after. If I set the GradientDistortionCoeffs variable in the script to "NONE", the entire script runs without error. I'm also wondering if this gradient unwarping step is necessary?
