Author: Guy Williams (gbw1000 at wbic.cam.ac.uk) Source: In nifti_io.jar Installation: Download nifti_io.jar to the plugins folder, or subfolder, restart ImageJ, and there will be five new commands: File/Import/NIfTI-Analyze, File/Save As/Analyze (NIfTI-1), File/Save As/NIfTI-1, File/Save As/Analyze 7.5 and Analyze/Tools/Coordinate Viewer. Description: These plugins are modified and rewritten versions of the Analyze_Reader and Analyze_Writer, plugins that support the NIfTI-1 Data Format, a modified and extended version of the Analyze file format. The File/Import/NIfTI-Analyze command loads Analyze and Nifti-1 format files. If the <filename> provided (or selected) ends with ".hdr" or ".img" then <filename>.hdr will be parsed and used to appropriately load the raw image data found in '<filename>.img'. Otherwise the file is assumed to be in the concatenated nifti format. If the header information conforms to the nifti-1 standard, the information is stored in property "nifti" as an object of class NiftiHeader.
The File/Save As/Analyze (NIfTI-1) command saves the current image as a Nifti-1 .img/.hdr pair, File/Save As/NIfTI-1 saves as a combined header/image file (.nii), and File/Save As/Analyze 7.5 saves in Analyze 7.5 format.
Analyze/Tools/Coordinate Viewer tool can be used to display the interpretation of image coordinates based on coordinate mapping information in the NIfTI header.
