NAME

       nii2mnc - convert a NIfTI-1 or Analyze 7.5 format file to a MINC format file.

SYNOPSIS

       nii2mnc [<options>] <infile> <outfile.mnc>

       nii2mnc -help

DESCRIPTION

       The  nii2mnc  command  is  used to convert "NIfTI-1" format files to MINC format.  The NIfTI-1 format was
       developed by the members of the  Neuroinformatics  Technology  Initiative's  Data  Format  Working  Group
       (DFWG).  The NIfTI-1 format is based upon the Mayo Clinic's Analyze 7.5 format.

       The  name  of  the  program is derived from the common filename suffixes used for NIfTI-1 and MINC files.
       NIfTI-1 defines two possible formats, a "header plus raw image" 2-file format, and a  single-file  format
       that  includes  both  header  information  and  the  image  data.  As with Analyze 7.5, the 2-file format
       consists of one file with the suffix ".hdr" and another file  with  the  extension  ".img".   In  NIfTI-1
       single-file format, the two files may be combined into a single file with a ".nii" filename suffix.

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.

Output voxel format

       -float Save voxels in 32-bit floating point format

       -double
              Save voxels in 64-bit floating point format

       -byte  Save voxels in 8-bit integer format

       -short Save voxels in 16-bit integer format

       -int   Save voxels in 32-bit integer format

       -signed
              Save voxels in signed (2's complement) integer format

       -unsigned
              Save voxels in unsigned integer format

Analyze 7.5 specific options

       -transverse
              Assume data is in ZYX dimension order.

       -sagittal
              Assume data is in XZY dimension order.

       -coronal
              Assume data is in YZX dimension order.

       -xyz   Assume data is in XYZ dimension order.

       -zxy   Assume data is in ZXY dimension order.

       -yxz   Assume data is in YXZ dimension order.

       -flipx, -flipy, -flipz
              Invert the samples along the given axis.

Other options

       -noscanrange
              Don't scan data to determine valid range.

       -quiet Quiet operation - do not print progress or debugging information.

Generic options for all commands

       -help  Print summary of command-line options and abort

       -version
              Print the program and library versions and abort

KNOWN BUGS

       Current handling of NIfTI-1 qform and sform coordinate transforms should probably be revised as the NIfTI
       group clarifies the correct usage of these fields.
