<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">ft_volumewrite does not write any information with respect to how the axes in the coordinate system need to be interpreted to the output file. In other words, it only writes the anatomical image, along with some transformation matrix that
typically maps voxels to head coordinates. If the external software ‘expects’ some specific coordinate system, or if it defaults to interpreting the coordinate system along to some convention, if it cannot find the required information in the file, the mapping
may or may not be correct.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">In your case it seems that freeview interprets the x/y/z axes in the coordinate system (attached with the MRI-file) as RAS, whereas you expected it to be correctly interpreted as ALS (CTF-convention). You could write the volume with a RAS
transformation matrix.<o:p></o:p></p>
