Hi Leorah,

in order to do a 3D registration you really need 3D information, so intrinsically the registration works in isotropic spaces. That is why the midspace has isotropic voxels. Maybe try writing out the two transforms to midspace and then use mri_convert with the -rl flag (passing one of the images ). It will then reslice the mapped midspace image as one of the input. This induces a potential, but probably small, bias. as the input image is selected. You could randomize that across subjects to be safe.

Best, Martin

Hi,

We are using mri_robust_register in one of our pipelines to register two 2D T2 images from the same patient (2 different timepoints). We resample both volumes into halfway space to then perform image subtraction. Both T2 volumes are 2D images, each with 44 slices. However when volumes are resampled into halfway space, each volume has over 130 slices. Without going into too much details, I feel that this "oversampling" is posing some problems in our subsequent subtraction scheme.

Is there a way to conserve the number of slices from the original volumes into the one resampled to halfway space?

Thanks a lot,

Leorah Freeman, MD
