Hi Stephan,
>we would like to build our own fp-cit and ß-cit spect template. Could
anybody give us a hint to realize that? Is it possible to use composite
images for this template?
Absolutely. Searching for "making template" in the archives (http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa.exe?S1=spm) yields plenty of references. The principle is to co-register the images in the modality you want a template for with something else for which there already is an MNI/ICBM152 space template (usually T1 MRI), normalise e.g. T1 to T1, drag coregistered new modality images along, check very carefully indeed, and create a "soft mean" (search for "Template" and "John Ashburner" in sender).
Composite (integrated/add?) images can be used and are often a good idea, particularly if parametric images lack anatomical features.
Obviously having a single slice template does not make much sense but I trust that's just a typo in your subject line.
Good luck,
Alexander
