Dear SPMers

I’ve been trying to normalize SPGR T1W images (256x256x106 
0.94mmx0.94mmx1.50mm) using SPM5 VBM segmentation function
(native+modulated+unmodulated).  I use matlab 7.1 in Linux with the update 
456.

I wanted to compare the differences between “with” and “without” non-linear 
transformation, so I turned on non-linear transformation by setting DCT 
cutoff=25 and turn it off by setting it to DCT cutoff=inf.  All of other 
parameters are set to the default values.  I was expecting affine 
component, which was extracted from ”_seg_sn.mat”, to be the same between 
the two ways, but they turn out to be different. 

I appreciate if anyone has an explanation for this.

”_seg_sn.mat”

DCT cutoff=25
 2.1310 -0.0608 0.0777 28.1888
 0.0796 2.0519 -0.5784 15.4785
-0.0364 0.3629 1.2825 -13.4118
0 0 0 1.000

DCT cutoff=inf
 2.1315 -0.0478 0.0745 27.6491
 0.0660 2.0546 -0.5704 15.9588
-0.0369 0.3577 1.2839 -12.8985
0 0 0 1.000

Thanks,
