Hi Dr. Welsh and all,

Thanks for the very timely and helpful reply.  The co-register and write-only (= reslice only) works well for changing voxel size in the already smoothed, normalized, realigned data . . . despite the fact that I couldn't find a decent 4^3 voxel image of Cartman . . .

Best regards,
Brandall

You just need to create a fake image of the appropriate resolution. You
can then do "co-register", "write-only". SPM will ask for an image
defining the space - choose the "fake" image that is at the correct
resolution. The object to be written is the image of interest.

Note the fake image file/header file pair really just needs the header
to be correct - the image can be of anything (the beach, Cartman, or
whatever, the actual image data is not used just the header).

Hi all,

Is there a way to change voxel size other than changing the default in
the
normalization step?  I am reanalyzing PET data in SPM99 for which, in
some
cases, I have only the smoothed, normalized, realigned data.  If
normalization is the only way to change voxel size, would re-normalizing
the already smoothed, normalized, realigned data be a reasonable way to
proceed, using "very light" nonlinear regularization?   Any suggestions
would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Brandall
