Ciao,
When reading a complex valued (32-bit float, real & imaginary components interleaved) image space dataset into AFNI format using the command 'to3d 3Dc:0:0:128:128:21:2dseq', an unexpected image is displayed -- see attached image TE45_reco_mag.jpg.
Why do we see four, rather than one, (rat) head in each of the 21 slices?
In this case, vs=voxel length is 8 (4 bytes real float + 4 bytes im float) which matches the description in to3d –help (line 205). The image space data file is 2752512 bytes, or 128 (FOV x) * 128 (FOV y) * 21 (slices) * 8 (bytes per voxel).
For reference, a magnitude-only-short-int image space reconstruction of the same scan shows what we would expect -- see attached iimage TE45_magshort.jpg
Regards,
Clara.
