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.

       -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

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 Neu-
       roinformatics 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.

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

       -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.
