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.

Robert

Hello, thank you for your quick reply.  I should have been more clear.
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?
