Hi all,

SPM99 Motion Correction using bputil now does by default registration across all runs within a series to the first image of the first run instead of within-run registration.

A major bug fix for the SPM99 Smoothing function within bputil has also been deployed. The problem was that instead of using a fixed kernel size, the smoothing function used a loop index for the kernel size instead of a static default kernel size or one specified by the user. This has been an undiscovered bug that dates back to November 2003.

Both fixes have been made to the following scripts that bputil uses under the covers (i.e. motioncorrect and smooth).

motioncorrect
smooth

bputil Updates that allow users to select which runs to process are on the way.

many of the analysis/pre-processing scripts look for the only bxh in the data folders so it may not be a good idea to have a bxh for every image. however you can read in individual images via their header (.hdr) file, or you can pull out certain timepoints through matlab (ie: func=readmr(data,(:,:,:,10:25));

Evan,

You do not need a separate BXH header for each file in order to read a portion of the data specified by a BXH file. readmr is capable of doing this using the "dataselect" argument. For instance, to read the 18th time point of the file "example.bxh", type the following:
img = readmr('example.bxh', 'BXH', {'','','',18});
Or to read the 12th through the 25th time points in the same file, type:
img = readmr('example.bxh', 'BXH', {'','','',12:25});
See help readmr for more details.

You can also load a subset of the data using the readmr GUI. Just specify the subset of the data you want to read in the "Selector" fields. If you leave a selector blank, readmr will read all of the data in that dimension.

I noticed that while the motion-corrected images are now registered to the first image of the first run, the realignment parameters listed in the "realignment_params_aV0001.txt" file for each run are still based on within-run registration. Is there any way to make this text file reflect the true realignment parameters used by the program?

Also, I was wondering if it is possible to make bputil spit out headers (bxh or otherwise) for each individual image file generated, so that individual timepoints can be seperately loaded by readmr. This would be very useful in experiments where the runs are long enough that matlab has trouble holding an entire run in memory.

Thanks,
Evan
