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 information 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.
General Options
-byte: Write out data as bytes (default).
-short: Write out data as short integers.
-clobber: Overwrite existing file.
-noclobber: Don't overwrite existing file (default).
-verbose: List files as they are converted (default)
-quiet: Do not list files as they are converted.
