Abstract
MNI coordinates determined using SPM2 and FSL/FLIRTwith the ICBM‐152 template were compared to Talairach coordinates determined using a landmark‐based Talairach registration method (TAL). Analysis revealed a clear‐cut bias in reference frames (origin, orientation) and scaling (brain size). Accordingly, ICBM‐152 fitted brains were consistently larger, oriented more nose down, and translated slightly down relative to TAL fitted brains. Whole brain analysis of MNI/Talairach coordinate disparity revealed an ellipsoidal pattern with disparity ranging from zero at a point deep within the left hemisphere to greater than 1‐cm for some anterior brain areas. MNI/Talairach coordinate disparity was generally less for brains fitted using FSL. The mni2tal transform generally reduced MNI/Talairach coordinate disparity for inferior brain areas but increased disparity for anterior, posterior, and superior areas. Coordinate disparity patterns differed for brain templates (MNI‐305, ICBM‐152) using the same fitting method (FSL/FLIRT) and for different fitting methods (SPM2, FSL/FLIRT) using the same template (ICBM‐152). An MNI‐to‐Talairach (MTT) transform to correct for bias between MNI and Talairach coordinates was formulated using a best‐fit analysis in one hundred high‐resolution 3‐D MR brain images. MTT transforms optimized for SPM2 and FSL were shown to reduced group mean MNI/Talairach coordinate disparity from a 5‐13 mm to 1‐2 mm for both deep and superficial brain sites. MTT transforms provide a validated means to convert MNI coordinates to Talairach compatible coordinates for studies using either SPM2 or FSL/FLIRTwith the ICBM‐152 template.
