Keith, Look in spm_slice_vol.m for getting slices out how you want them. I am not totally familiar with the code, but would suggest: 1) do your fmri realignment 2) do your t2 co-reg without reslice such that the .mat is produced. 3) using spm_slice_vol pull out slices of your t2 based on the locations of your fmri slices. I see that John A. has suggested another way to do it as well. His looks a bit more transparent (ie you won't have to use spm_slice_vol by hand). Good luck.

What I want is a resliced version of my T2 images in the same orientation as the functionals. I am using the alignment and co-registration functions of SPM and then analyzing the data with my own code. I would like to be able to look slice-by-slice at my functional activation overlayed on the T2 images. Is there any way to get SPM to re-slice the T2's while retaining their resolution? Why does reslicing lower the resolution in the first place? keith
