[Insight-developers] analyze files from spm - scaling factors

[Vincent A. Magnotta]

Richard,

SPM really does not conform to the Analyze 7.5 standard very well. 
Looking at the code, the scale would be 1 and intercept in ITK. It is 
possible to set the get the scale set to 1 by adding the variable 
SPM_ROI_SCALE to the Meta Data Dictionary with a value of 1. I believe 
that this will fix the problems that you are having with SPM. We now 
also support the NiFTI format which was developed as a standard by 
several groups in the field of neuroimaging.
