Dear Luca,


You're after a kind of SISCOM analysis, right?

To make any statistical inference, you have to have some variance, but
you don't have between-subject variability with just two images. 

The SISCOM "trick" is to derive the variability between voxels (and
within subject). So you need to coregister your images; intensity
normalise them; derive the distribution of differences across voxels
(normally involving some kind of masking or thresholding); and then
threshold the statistical output.

If you have access to Analyze from the Mayo, there's now a button that
guides you through it all step-by-step. If not, you could use many kinds
of imaging software for it, including probably SPM2 or MRICro(n). Terry
J O'Brien has worked a lot on it - maybe they've got specific software
too.

Hope this helps,

Alexander

Subject: [SPM] ictal vs interictal single subject

hy,
i'm a new user of SPM2 and i've a question:
is possible to subtract the interictal spect image VS the ictal of the
same 
subject with SPM2, to see the significant voxel, without compare with
the 
healthy normal database?(simple subtraction of interictal and ictal
spect)
if it is possible please explain with details the procedure in SPM2, 
beacouse i've tried to do this but i didn't find a solution.
i give my email adress: [log in to unmask]
thanks
