There shouldn’t be any issues. Have you tried…?

hi

thank you for your prompt response,

since I am used to process data with TORTOISE I would like to upload mi .nii process file (I also have the mask and bvecs and bvals files) to MRTRIX for CSD

I have in one folder the DWI.nii, bvecs, bvals and mask

The data is Philips 32 dir, one b0 and the rest 1000

I get this error:

Command:  mrconvert /Users/avnermeoded/Desktop/test-hardi/mau/fsl/dwi.nii - -stride 0,0,0,1 -grad /Users/avnermeoded/Desktop/test-hardi/mau/fsl/bvecs | dwiextract - /Users/avnermeoded/Desktop/test-hardi/mau/fsl/dwi2response-tmp-Y2SIGM/dwi.mif -singleshell -no_bzero

any idea what might be the problem?

thank you

Hi Avner,

By your command line looks like you have the bvecs and bvals obtained from FSL, so the -grad obtion won’t work, the correct option is -fslgrad. If this is the issue, this should work and the images should be converted.

Regards

ok
do you know what are the files required for -fslgrad? only bvecs?

thanks
