Dear SPMers, I have a 4D analyze file composed of one hdr and one img files. The data have multiple volumes. I found a somewhat relevant question in the mail base (below). However, I don’t need full support for a 4D file as mentioned below. I have one 4D Analyze file named A.hdr & img, one regular 3D Analyze file (one volume) named B.hdr & img, and MRI.hdr & img. A and B are functional images and in the same orientation. I would like to know if, 1. I can coregister A and B to MRI by selecting target: MRI, object: A and other: B. I would like to coregister A and B to MRI but not MRI to A and B for some reason. 2. I can do spatial normalization by determining parameter from MRI and write normalized images from rA and rB (if step#1 works, I will obtain rB). I want to have a spatially normalized 4D file. My question may sound odd but I am analyzing data outside of SPM using a program for a 4D Analyze file. I found that SPM can display B.hdr & img. But I don’t see an option to select a volume. Which volume is displayed?

In short, no, SPM99 can't work with 4D Analyze files. In fact this facility for 4D files is part of the old Analyze format as well. I agree absolutely that the facility to work on 4D files would be extremely useful. SPM99 has much more flexibility with file formats than SPM96, and it should be possible to implement that support. Anyone who can see their way through to having a go at this would be doing a great favour to those of us struggling with huge directory listings for long FMRI runs. Cheers, Matthew
