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.
