[Neuroimaging] writing a 1D python array to 3D Nifti file

[Christopher Markiewicz]

Hi Lorenzo,

Assuming all you did was flatten the array, you should be able to simply reshape the array to the image shape:

    new_img = Nifti1Image(arr.reshape(old_img.shape), old_img.affine, old_img.header)​

Note that this preserves the affine and type of the input image, so if either of those has changed under your transformations, then you will need to pass the updated affine and call set_data_dtype()​ after creation.

Best,
Chris

Subject: [Neuroimaging] writing a 1D python array to 3D Nifti file

Dear experts,

I uploaded a 3D nifti file with nibabel, transformed it into a 1D array and performed some transformations. My final 1D array has size 902629 (MNI vector space).

Now, I would like to convert this 1D array back to a 3D nifti image. Any advice to perform this operation?

Thankx,
L
