NAME
miconv - Converts medical image data between formats.
SYNOPSIS
miconv [options] <input-file> [<output-file>]
DESCRIPTION
miconv: Converts medical image data between formats.
File formats are automatically identified by their file extension. It expects at least two
filenames/directories (for the input and output file) at the end of the command line. An
exception is the option '-l' which requires only one filename/directory to list its content.
General options:
-l: Lists space-separated set of protocol parameters and exits. Use '-l help' to get a list of possible
parameters and '-l all' to list all parameters. The parameter 'output-file' must be omitted when
using this option.
-p: Load this protcol for defaults
-q: Quiet mode: do not print progress meter
Protocol options:
-aa: azimuthal rotation angle (default=0.0)
-ah: height rotation angle (default=0.0)

File read options:

default=none)

-filter: Read only those datasets which protocol parameter 'key' contains the string 'value' (given in
the format 'key=value')
-fmap: For reduced memory usage, keep filemapping after reading (raw) data, but writing into the array
will result in a crash

-rdialect: Read data using given dialect of the format. (default is no dialect)
-rf: Read format, use it to override file extension (options=autodetect 3db analyze asc coi dat dcm

File write options:
-append: Append to existing file, only for raw data
-fnamepar: Space-separated list of protocol parameters to include when creating unique file names
-noscale: Do not rescale values when storing integers
-split: Force splitting of protocol-data pairs into separate files.
-type: Image representation type (options=automatic float double s32bit u32bit s16bit u16bit s8bit u8bit
, default=automatic)
-wdialect: Write data using given dialect of the format. (default is no dialect)
