MINC Tools

This package is a collection of tools that work on MINC format images.

• rawtominc, minctoraw, mincextract - format conversion
• mincheader, mincdiff, mincinfo, minchistory - file information
• mincedit, minc_modify_header - header manipulation
• mincresample - arbitrary volume resampling
• mincreshape - extraction of volume sub-cubes, image flipping, dimension re-ordering, type conversion
• mincconcat - concatenating or interleaving images from multiple files
• mincmath - perform simple math on files
• minccalc - perform more complicated math on files through an expression
• mincaverage - average minc files
• mincstats - calculate statistics across voxels of a file
• minclookup - lookup table operations for arbitrary re-mappings of intensities
• worldtovoxel, voxeltoworld - coordinate conversion
• xfmconcat, xfminvert - generalized transformation utilities
• mincview - simple image display using xv or ImageMagick
• mincpik - generate picture from slice through volume

INSTALLATION

Compilation and installation is now done with CMake. Use these steps:

1. Compile

   $ cmake CMakeLists.txt $ make

Note that if you have installed libminc in a non-standard location (in this case /opt/local/minc) you will have to tell CMake where to find it as such:

$ export LIBMINC_DIR=/opt/local/minc $ cmake CMakeLists.txt $ make

Similarly if you'd like to install minc-tools in this same location you will need to do this:

$ export LIBMINC_DIR=/opt/local/minc $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/opt/local/minc CMakeLists.txt $ make

2. Install

   $ sudo make install
