AFNI Message Board

Dear AFNI users-

We are very pleased to announce that the new AFNI Message Board framework is up! Please join us at:

https://discuss.afni.nimh.nih.gov

Existing user accounts have been migrated, so returning users can login by requesting a password reset. New users can create accounts, as well, through a standard account creation process. Please note that these setup emails might initially go to spam folders (esp. for NIH users!), so please check those locations in the beginning.

The current Message Board discussion threads have been migrated to the new framework. The current Message Board will remain visible, but read-only, for a little while.

Sincerely, AFNI HQ

This is certainly a problem. The two must overlap correctly in the orig view in order for the tlrc step to work. In original view, does the EPI data look 'bigger' than the structural?

Yes, there is something missing - a FOV smiling smiley When you use the 3D: options with to3d, it reads in the binary data only, no position or size info. I see from your other thread that you are having problems reading in DICOM files which has this info and would normally include the position data automatically. The command you ran should have brought up a graphical interface to enter your position/size info. You need to find that correct info and enter it. Note that it is fairly common to acquire structural and EPI scans at different FOVs. For example, we do our MPRAGES at a FOV of 256 to get 1mm voxels when imaging 256X256, and our EPIs with a FOV of 220 instead of 256 to get better inplane resolution at a 64x64 matrix.
