[MINC-users] normalizing to scalpedt1.img volume

[Christopher Currie]

Dear MINC-users

  I'm trying to use mincresample to write normalized volumes based on one
of the spm2 provided template brains (i.e., scalpedt1.img, scalpedt1.hdr),
but there doesn't seem to be any direct way to do this.  It seems somehow
I'd need to get a transformational matrix based on scalpedt1.img, but I'm
not sure how to do that, so I these are my two questions:

1. Is there any MINC function that can non linearly normalize a volume
based on another arbitrary anatomical volume?
2. Is there any way to extract/derive/build a transformation matrix from a
template anatomical, like scalpedt1.img, and put the parameters into an
.xfm file?
Thanks.

    - Cheers,
            Christopher
