NAME

       mnc2nii - convert a MINC format file to a NIfTI-1 or Analyze format file.

SYNOPSIS

       mnc2nii [<options>] <infile.mnc> <outfile.mnc>

       mnc2nii -help

DESCRIPTION

       The mnc2nii command is used to convert MINC format files to either NIfTI-1 or Analyze format.  The NIfTI-1 format was developed by the mem-
       bers 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 for-
       mats, 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.

       In addition to the NIfTI-1 formats, mnc2nii can convert MINC files to the Analyze 7.5 format.

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 file format
       -dual  Save file in NIfTI-1 two-file format (.hdr and .img)

       -ASCII Save file in non-standard NIfTI-1 ASCII file format

       -nii   Save file in NIfTI-1 single-file format (.nii)

       -analyze
	      Save file in Analyze 7.5 compatible format

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

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.

NAME

       mincmakevector - convert a list of scalar minc files into one vector file

SYNOPSIS

       mincmakevector [<options>] <in>.mnc [...] <out>.mnc

DESCRIPTION

       Mincmakevector  converts  a list of scalar minc files into one vector minc file. A vector minc file is one that contains the dimension vec-
       tor_dimension as the fastest varying dimension of the image data and represents vector data at each voxel such as RGB  images  or  gradient
       volumes. A scalar minc file does not contain the vector dimension and represents grayscale or intensity data.

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.

General options
       -2     Create a MINC 2.0 format output file.

       -clobber
	      Overwrite an existing file.

       -noclobber
	      Don't overwrite an existing file (default).

       -no_clobber
	      Synonym for -noclobber.

       -verbose
	      Print out progress information for each chunk of data copied (default).

       -quiet Do not print out progress information.

       -buffer_size size
	      Specify the maximum size of the internal buffers (in kbytes). Default is 10 MB.

       -filetype
	      Create an output file with the same type as the first input file (default).

       -byte  Store output voxels as 8-bit integers.

       -short Store output voxels as 16-bit integers.

       -int   Store output voxels as 32-bit integers

       -long  Superseded by -int.

       -float Store output voxels as 32-bit floating point numbers.

       -double
	      Store output voxels as 64-bit floating point numbers.

       -signed
	      Create  an output file with data stored in a signed type. This only has an effect if the one of the -byte, -short or -int options is
	      specified.

       -unsigned
	      Create an output file with data stored in an unsigned type. This only has an effect if the one of the -byte, -short or -int  options
	      is specified.

       -valid_range min max
	      Create  an output file with integer data stored in the specified restricted range.  This only has an effect if the one of the -byte,
	      -short or -int options is specified.

Generic options for all commands:
       -help  Print summary of command-line options and exit.

       -version
	      Print the program's version number and exit.

EXAMPLES

       To convert files containing red, green and blue colour components into an RGB file:

	  mincmakevector red.mnc green.mnc blue.mnc rgb.mnc
