Note: Anatomical and functional data MUST be coregistered for production of understandable graphics.

Loading anatomical data

MR templates created using d3template can be loaded by pressing the "Open MR template" button of d3view. If you do not have an MR template, you can use a standard template from the directory <d3view base dir>/Templates or create your own template from a standard SPM Analyze image using d3template. d3template is started from the matlab command prompt, or by pressing the "Create MR template" button of d3view.

Once the anatomical data have been loaded, the data are presented in the volume browser (volView):

volView is a common component of several of the NRU imaging tools. Dataset parameters are presented in the "Loaded files" window:

Loading fuctional data

For functional data, SPM Analyze format images are used. In principle as many functional datsets as needed can be loaded, but ofcourse workstation memory sets a limit. Functional (PET) datasets are loaded by pressing the "Open analyze PET data" button of d3view.

When a dataset has been loaded, parameters of the dataset will are presented in the "Loaded files" window:
