<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi Manuel (and all),<br><br></div>Yes, the <span style="font-family:courier new,monospace">labelconfig</span> step has been a stumbling block for many users.<br><br>When I started writing the connectome code for my own evil purposes, I wanted something as flexible as possible, that kept in line with the modular design philosophy of MRtrix. In my mind, <span style="font-family:courier new,monospace">labelconfig</span> is actually an 'essential' step for connectome construction (based on the atlases I have seen); I suspect that other software packages may somehow deal with the problem implicitly, or people have been doing this operation the slow & painful way...<br>
<br></div>I have <a href="https://github.com/jdtournier/mrtrix3/wiki/labelconfig-worked-example">given <span style="font-family:courier new,monospace">labelconfig</span> its own dedicated page</a> in the <a href="https://github.com/jdtournier/mrtrix3/wiki">MRtrix GitHub wiki</a>. I hope that the worked example there is adequate for people to wrap their heads around why this command is necessary, what its actual purpose is, and why it's beneficial for this to be an explicit step. Let me know if any aspects of its use are still unclear and I will update the page accordingly.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear all,<br>
<br>
I want to create the connectome using MRtrix, but I don't know exactly how to do it.<br>
<br>
I have my parcellated file and the relation between the labels and the names (similar to the example file aal.txt). What more I need to launch the labelconfig? Which are the correct input files?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
