[SciPy-dev] Nifti support

[Matthieu Brucher]

Hi,

Here is the nifticlib.i file, not a lot of differences.


I would like to put in my two-cents worth regarding the nifti format.  I

Are you able to read DTI image files in DICOM ? That could interest me a
lot.


The goal was to be able to script FSL, AFNI, SPM and our in-house python

Do you have a wrapper over FSL and SPM in Python ?

We have the same problem when converting DICOM to analyze, the two pieces of
software we use (MRIConvert and MRICRO or something like that) don't use the
same coordinate system...


I don't know if this is covered elsewhere or not, but it should receive some

You have mine :)
