NAME¶
ecattominc - convert an ecat format file (version 6.x or 7.x) to a minc format
file
SYNOPSIS¶
ecattominc [<options>] <infile> <outfile.mnc>
ecattominc [-help]
DESCRIPTION¶
ecattominc will convert an ecat data file (version 6.x or 7.x) to a minc
file format Unless the
-small_header option is specified,
ecattominc will conserve the maximum informations from the ecat header
and subheader fields which will be respectively stored as attributes of the
ecat-main and ecat-subhdr minc variables. By default the whole 3D or 4D volume
is converted, however,
ecattominc allows for the selection of slice and
frame ranges to be copied. The voxel values of the generated minc file are
decay corrected, unless the
nodecay_correct flag is specified. Finally,
blood data file can be inserted within the minc file with the
-bloodfile option.
