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  for-
     mat.  The NIfTI-1 format was developed by the members of the Neuroinformat-
     ics  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  in-
     cludes  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.
