[Mristudio-users] Using processed data

Wed Dec 16 20:02:12 EST 2009

Hi Mark:

   And could you please send me the gradient direction table that you 
input in gradient table window ?... and could you please send me an 
screenshot of the "DW-image Parameters" window ?...

   But, you must use 4D files... not 3D ones...

   Sincerely,
