oh, still a question. when i use fslview to check the 4D file created by SPM5, it shows normal(the contrast and brightness values are approate.) but when i use fslview to check the 4D file created by fslmerge, before it show the image, a warning box apprear:【 warning:multiple versions of the image files exit】,after i click to continue, it also show the image but in the abnormal contrast and brightness value range. why???? 2009/9/14 cliff <[log in to unmask]> > oh! yes,it is just because of the contrast and brightness value. > it seems both spm and MRIcro can adjust automatically, but fsl can't! > after i set the value in fsl as the same in MRIcro, it become the same. > > does it mean that i don't need to care about these different when i try to > do some analysis work on them? > can i set up FSL also to adjust automatically? > > thanks! > > 2009/9/14 Mark Jenkinson <[log in to unmask]> > > Hi, >> >> I think that SPM may view the image in a different orientation to FSLView >> and also probably uses a different display range for the intensities. >> If your "grey" in FSLView is a uniform colour across the image with no >> features, then this probably indicates that the display range encoded >> in the image was inappropriate and you need to set the values for >> the display range (min and max) yourself in order to see the image >> clearly.
