<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>That means, the 3 repeated measurements
may no longer have the same 12-orientation gradient table. Instead, you will
get 36 orientations. Therefore, you have to combine all 3 sets to create one
measurement with 36 orientations and your gradient table also has to be one
36-orientation table.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>In DtiStudio, you can create average and
subtracted images of repeated measurements using the "mean, STD"
button. From these images, you can get idea about how much translation and
rotation occurred during the scans. Usually, the rotation is very tiny, like
within 1 degree. In this case, you don't have to use gradient table rotation,
in my opinion. Unless you have a bad data in which subject was moving more than
few degrees, this rotation correction may not have much importance. On the
other hand, if the subject is moving around, you may have other issues like
image corruptions and motion within one image (odd and even slices are not
registered), which can not be solved by AIR.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>So, I guess what I'm saying is you should
carefully inspect your data, instead of just throwing your data into AIR, do
gradient table rotation, and forget about it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I am using gradient table (for DTI studio ) generated at the following link:<br>

I wonder if I can directly use the gradient table from this java applet without
field flipping.<br>
