Does the BrainSuite software perform AC-PC alignment?

[Anand Joshi]

The SVReg registration module performs full anatomical alignment of subject to atlas. This alignment is much more accurate than AC-PC alignment. Can you please explain some more about why you want to do AC-PC alignment? Is it for visualization purpose?

[Vinny]

Yes that is correct, my goal is tractography. I’ve seen some process workflows use MIPAV for AC-PC alignment prior to diffusion weighted image preprocessing using TORTOISE, as part of the AFNI distribution.

For tractography and finding connectivity across regions, we do not need AC PC alignment in BrainSuite.
