[MINC-users] mritotal for striatum

[Jason Lerch]

Hi Ji Hyun,

you could use minctracc (the underlying registration tool used by  
mritotal) directly with a mask option which covers only the basal  
ganglia. That way you ought to get good linear or non-linear  
registration of those structures.

Cheers,

Jason
