[MINC-users] mincconcat

[Alex ZIJDENBOS]

Hi Kate,

(this may not be that useful to people outside BIC, but hey)

You may want to try concat_mri, which is a perl script I once wrote to
take care of this type of problem. It does a few extra steps before
and after running mincconcat to take care of minor problems with the
coordinate spaces of the sub-volumes (usually caused by roundoff
errors). It's old, somewhat clunky and could use improvement, but it
still works in most cases. Of course you may also need to a
registration step if the subject moved between the passes, then it
becomes another story. But you'll see whether or not that is necessary
after you've concatenated them.

I can't try it because the sfic dir is unreadable.
