during the segmentation, you should set the option to save forward and backward deformation (in SPM12 it's at the bottom of the segment batch) -- then simply apply (normalize option) the backward deformation field to your SPM T.

Dear SPM users,
I am trying to use dartel deformation field to find peaks from fMRI analysis in native images. There are quite a lot of scripts on mailing list (e.g.
https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind1202&L=spm&D=0&P=734555 ) doing so.
I am using SPM 12 and I was thinking that I need to use backward deformation filed (MNI -> native) which I get from deformation utils, but I get only reasonable results using forward deformation field. Am I missing something, like to add some transformation
of coords like in the the mail mentioned above - where there is applied affine transformation from Template_6_2mni.mat to coords and then the coords are selected according the backward deformation, but I don't know where to get this mat file. The script I
am using is:
deform = spm_vol([[y_forward
',1,1'];[y_forward
',1,2'];[y_forward
',1,3']]);
vox = deform(1).mat\[mni_coords';1];
spm_sample_vol(deform(1),vox(1),vox(2),vox(3),1)...
spm_sample_vol(deform(2),vox(1),vox(2),vox(3),1)...
spm_sample_vol(deform(3),vox(1),vox(2),vox(3),1)];
How to apply the backward deformation instead of forward with SPM12?
Thanks for any advice,
Matyas
