Hi Colm,
I don't think there are any problems here.
Identical datasets should look identical in AFNI, regardless of
which of the 48 orientations they happen to have. AFNI makes a
sagittal image look sagittal. While 3dresample may change the
order of the data on disk, it should look the same in AFNI.
---
FSL should not require LPI data when dealing with NIfTI datasets
(it would when using ANALYZE datasets). So the 3dresample command,
while not harmful, may not do anything useful, either.
---
I know little of how FSL evaluates a dataset as being NEUROLOGICAL,
though I can guess (right-handed, maybe). It may even have some
user interface variable to flip the image in the viewer.
In any case, I suggest you rely on what is left in AFNI, and then
visually verify that it is on the same side in FSL.
