vff2mnc(1)vff2mnc(1)NAME
vff2mnc - convert set of vff file(s) to one 3D MINC2.0 format file.
SYNOPSIS
vff2mnc [<options>] <output-file> <input-list>
vff2mnc -help
DESCRIPTION
The vff2mnc command is used to convert vff format files to MINC2.0 format.
"VFF" stands for "Vextractor File Format". This format is used for storing vector data between sessions. The vff file contains the image
information at the very top in text format and the actual image right after the form feed character ' in binary.
OPTIONS Output file options-noswap
Do not swap bytes when creating the MINC2.0 file.
-list Print list of series (don't create files).
Generic options for all commands-help Print summary of command-line options and abort
-version
Print the program and library versions and abort

nii2mnc(1)nii2mnc(1)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
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.
