Hi,
There are a number of fields in the Analyze header which are not
consistently interpreted, so we give them default values when
creating an Analyze file. It is unlikely that anything of interest has
changed. If you are interested you can pinpoint the things that have
changed by doing the following:
- to check the header, run "fslhd" on the initial and final Analyze
files
and look for the differences (you can save the result of each in a
file and then run "diff" on the two files)
- to check the image contents, run "fslmaths initialimage -sub
finalimage diff"
with the appropriate filenames for the initial and final images, and
then run "fslstats diff -R"
The output should be values equal to (or very near) zero, if there is
no difference in the intensities stored by the images.
All the best,
Mark
