[Marsbar-users] compatibility of anatomical ROIs across SPM versions?

[Todd G. <tg...@ps...>]

Dear Matthew and marsbar-users:

I have recently updated some old analyses from spm99 and getting with =
the times have used spm5. For obvious and other reasons I'd like to go =
with the latter. Along the route I have anatomical ROIs that were =
manually traced based on structural images normalized in spm2. I would =
like to use these as ROI masks for the former spm5 results. However, due =
to many differences in preprocessing and normalization routines I =
haven't found an easy way to make these images compatible (i.e., after =
playing around and comparing images they are obviously not aligned). The =
simplest answer would seem to be to just rerun the functional analysis =
in spm2 from which the ROIs were also created. However, I'm wondering if =
there is another relatively simple method to apply the spm2 normalized =
ROIs as masks in spm5? Anyone else try anything similar?

Please refer me on if this is deemed more of an SPM question, but as =
this group works more specifically with ROIs I thought I'd post here =
first. I've checked both list archives without much luck.

Thanks,

Todd
