Hi Radhika,

I didn't understand your question.

According to your email, you are doing
registration between two 2D images.

When you read the images from DICOM format
you get one registration result.

and if you convert the DICOM to raw and
then to Analyze format...

    then you get the *same* result.


Why is this a bad thing ?
