## ExtractROI

Link to code

Wraps command fslroi

Uses FSL Fslroi command to extract region of interest (ROI) from an image.

You can a) take a 3D ROI from a 3D data set (or if it is 4D, the same ROI is taken from each time point and a new 4D data set is created), b) extract just some time points from a 4D data set, or c) control time and space limits to the ROI. Note that the arguments are minimum index and size (not maximum index). So to extract voxels 10 to 12 inclusive you would specify 10 and 3 (not 10 and 12).

Link to code

The ‘in_source’ attribute determines the order of columns that are expected in the source file. FSL prints motion parameters in the order rotations, translations, while SPM prints them in the opposite order.
