Hi Mark,

By single-voxel data I was referring to single-voxel MRS data. For our 
application, we need to tissue segment triple-obliqued 30 x 20 x 10 mm 
voxels that were positioned within the hippocampus. Following the 
initial BET, I checked the header information and indeed there is valid 
qform information (qform_code = 2). Would be able to point my in the 
right direction from here in terms of pulling out an arbitrary obliqued 
ROI? Please let me know if you need additional information.

Many thanks,
Andy
