[MINC-users] minctracc and mincresample question

[andrewkrause at ucla.edu]

Hi everyone,

We've been using minctracc and mincresample to register skull-stripped  
images as part of our workflow, but we recently found out that  
registration might work better using the whole image before  
skullstripping. I was hoping to save some work by registering the  
images with the skull on using minctracc, and then take the xfm output  
file from that and apply it to the skull-stripped versions with  
mincresample. However, when I do that, I end up with blank registered  
images. Looking at the matrices in the xfm files of the registered  
with skull on and registered with skull off images, I noticed that the  
first three columns are fairly similar but the last column is very  
different. Does anyone have any ideas as to why it's not working? I  
can post the script I wrote to do this if it helps.

Thanks,
Andrew
