[MINC-users] Fwd: Minc to Analyze issue

Nope.  But then spm_defaults is SPM specific and you seem to be using
FSL.  Meaning you could load your analyze image in SPM and then in FSL
and get two (very) different things.

! have never used minc2analyze but I do know that steve smith wrote
something yonks ago so I presume this is it.

Whenever I have done this in the past, the only consistent way to make
this work is to resample everything to the same space (using
mincresample) and then convert.
