Dear SPM'ers,
I'm new to SPM and image processing analysis. I have recently inherited
a data set that has been processed in AFNI. My PI and I would like to
convert these files to analyze format so we can both check the analyses
in SPM and set up a DCM analysis. In addition to the preprocessed images
(I do not have intermediate steps) I have the original analyze files
from the DICOM conversion/ extraction.
My questions are these:
1. Would it be suitable to convert AFNI files to the analyze file type
for the final preprocessed images, or does image processing need to be
re-done in SPM to yield proper results in subsequent analyses? Can I
port the preprocessed AFNI files into SPM and expect to get the same /
similar results in t and F contrasts in SPM?
2. Does anyone have experience working with AFNI and SPM and know what
the fidelity of SPM maps between program is? Being able to validate my
work against the AFNI results would be invaluable.
Many thanks!
