If you are using SPM12b, there's an option in the Deformations Utility for generating Jacobian determinants from deformation fields.  There's no simple way I can think of for doing this in SPM8 though, although the operations involved are fairly simple.  Essentially, you want to warp one of the Jacobian maps, with scaling by the Jacobian of the deformation used for warping  (ie "modulation").

Dear SPM community,

Can anyone explain me how to derive the Jacobian determinant from a composed flow field. I can only obtain the jacobian for each component (from the source and the template, not from both combined). By the way, one of the flow fields is backwards and the other forwards.

Thanks,
