NAME

       upet2mnc - convert a Concorde microPET format file to a MINC format file.

SYNOPSIS

       upet2mnc [<options>] <infile> <outfile.mnc>

       upet2mnc -help

DESCRIPTION

       The upet2mnc command is used to convert Concorde microPET format files to MINC format.

       The  microPET  format  consists of two files, a binary image and a text header. The header file generally
       has the same name as the image with the suffix ".hdr" appended.  Normally you can  specify  the  name  of
       either  the  binary image or the text header file on the command line.  However, both of the files should
       be in the same directory for the converter to locate both files correctly.

OPTIONS

       Note that options can be specified in abbreviated form (as long as they are  unique)  and  can  be  given
       anywhere on the command line.

       -head  Orient  the image according to typical neurological conventions, with the Y axis oriented from the
              posterior to anterior, the Z axis oriented from inferior to superior, and X oriented from  patient
              left to patient right.

       -body  Orient  the  image  such  that  the  Y  axis  is oriented from superior to inferior, the Z axis is
              oriented from posterior to anterior, and X from patient left to patient right.
