# cmtk-split(1)

Split images

## NAME

split - Split images

## SYNOPSIS

**split** InputImage OutputImagePattern

## DESCRIPTION

Split volume image into sub-images, i.e., to separate interleaved images into passes

## OPTIONS

### Global Toolkit Options (these are shared by all CMTK tools)

- **--help**

  Write list of basic command line options to standard output.

- **--help-all**

  Write complete list of basic and advanced command line options to standard output.

- **--wiki**

  Write list of command line options to standard output in MediaWiki markup.

- **--man**

  Write man page source in 'nroff' markup to standard output.

- **--version**

  Write toolkit version to standard output.

- **--echo**

  Write the current command line to standard output.

- **--verbose-level** *\<integer\>*

  Set verbosity level.

- **--verbose**, **-v**

  Increment verbosity level by 1 (deprecated; supported for backward compatibility).

- **--threads** *\<integer\>*

  Set maximum number of parallel threads (for POSIX threads and OpenMP).

### Orientation Options

- **--slice-orientation**

  Define slice axis for splitting. Supported values: "axial", "sagittal", "coronal", "interleave-x", "interleave-y", "interleave-z", where the default is "axial", or use one of the following:

  - **--axial**, **-a**

    Interleaved axial images **\[This is the default\]**

  - **--sagittal**, **-s**

    Interleaved sagittal images

  - **--coronal**, **-c**

    Interleaved coronal images

  - **--interleave-x**, **-x**

    Interleaved along x axis

  - **--interleave-y**, **-y**

    Interleaved along y axis

  - **--interleave-z**, **-z**

    Interleaved along z axis **\[This is the default\]**

### Splitting Options

- **--factor** *\<integer\>*, **-f** *\<integer\>*

  Interleave factor. This is the number of subimages generated. If this is set to zero, a separate 2D output image is generated for each slice in the input (in the given slice orientation). **\[Default: 2\]**

### Output Options

- **--padded**, **-p**

  Padded output, i.e., fill in removed slices

- **--output-xform-path** *\<string\>*

  Optional path template (fprintf-style) for output affine transformation that maps input image coordinates to each output image. **\[Default: NONE\]**
