Dear SPMers,
Please forgive the basic nature of the this question. I'm scanning patients pre and postoperatively (Temporal lobe resections) and would like to know what the consensus is for the best method to preprocess and coregister the postoperative images to the preoperative images. I inherited a technique from a colleague that I think can be improved on, which is at present:
Realign: Estimate and Reslice
Coreg:Estimate
Reference Image; Preop mean EPI
Source Image; Postop mean EPI
Other images; Postop resliced images
Normalise: Write
Parameter file; Preop mean sn.mat
Images to write; Postop realigned and reslices output
Smooth
Images to Smooth; Postop normalised output
I have T1 images for each subject pre and post op and think this should be included at some point for coregistration. I would also like to mask the resection cavity for each subject.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Jason
