NAME
im_analyze2vips - convert Analyze 7.5 images to VIPS format
SYNOPSIS
#include <vips/vips.h>
int im_analyze2vips( const char *filename, IMAGE *out )
DESCRIPTION
im_analyze2vips(3)
reads the Analyze image in
filename,
and writes the image out
in VIPS format. It can read (almost) any Analyze format image. Images with
more than two dimensions simply appear as a very tall, thin strip. Use
im_grid(3)
to lay the tiles out as your prefer.
It reads the old-style 7.5 format, where the header and the image data are
stored in separate files. You can give the name of either the header (for
example, "fred.hdr") the image data (for example, "fred.img"), or neither (eg.
"fred").
The fields in the Analyze header appear in the VIPS header with a "dsr-"
prefix. So the Analyze field "patient_id", which is part of data_history, may
be retrieved with
im_header_string "dsr-data_history.patient_id" fred.v
