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 formats,
       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 informa‐
	      tion.

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.
