Ruopeng,
I tried to run dti_recon on an 800x500x500 DTI dataset. The "_tensor.nii" file should have been larger than 4GB but the result was only a few hundred megabytes. I tried again using a reduced volume (800x500x400) which resulted in a correct result (3.84 GB "_tensor.nii" output).
I have done this test using Mac OS 10.5.8 and 10.6.4 with the same results. I have tried on DTK version 6.0 and 6.1 (Mac OSX 64 & 32 bit) with the same result. Both computers have 20GB+ of RAM and plenty of disk space (100+ GB) and I was the only user.
Could there be a 32 bit variable somewhere that is getting overflowed?
thanks
-Evan
