Because you expect anatomical change before and after surgery, I think it's difficult to share a b0 image for both scans.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 23, 2013 at 11:13 AM, Dorian P. <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:alb.net@gmail.com" target="_blank">alb.net@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
