Hello all,
I new to SPM8 and am looking for a little help on the implementation side so apologies if my questions seem trivial! I've done a lot of reading around and have seen only a little documentation explaining SPECT or PET studies.
Can anybody share a template for SPECT 123-I DaTSCAN or for FDG PET brain scans, or know where I might find one?
Are there any templates in the program itself?
I'm presuming it may be easier to just use locally produced templates. In terms of producing a local template, is it required to co-register the entire volumes from each scan, or is it simply performed on a slice from each of the volumes?
Also I seem to be having trouble importing my DICOM files, I'm being told that it "can't find the appropriate modality imformation" for my reconstructed DaTSCAN dicom file (the entire volume is in 1 dicom). Could anybody shed some light on this? I could manually change the parameter if I knew what it was looking for.
Best Regards,
Jim O' Doherty
