This is a guide that shows an alternative way to do the coregistration, which is meant for cases where the automatic steps don’t work out. Even with missing or erroneous positioning information in the FMR or VMR header, it should still provide you with the option to use the gradient based alignment and that way obtain the best possible result.
You should have ended up now with the green edges of the FMR overlaid on top of the VMR. They will be in the same sagital orientation, but probably not in the correct position.
The gradient based fine tuning alignment will only work if the FMR is quite close to the optimal position (maximally 15mm away) when the calculations start. Luckily you can manually help to get a better starting point for the fine tuning alignment by changing the translation and rotation parameters in the coregistration tab.
The created IA and FA transformation files can be used to create a VTC, which after linking can be visualized in Spatial Transformations Tab of the 3D volume tools. Using F8 and F9 you can then verify the position of your VTC with respect to the anatomy as a final check that the coregistration worked out.
