# mincpik(1)

MNI medical image format tools

## NAME

mincpik - MNI medical image format tools

## DESCRIPTION

Option h is ambiguous (help, horizontal) Usage:

-

  mincpik \[options\] \<infile\>.mnc \[\<image.type\>\]

-

  mincpik generates image files from MINC volumes using the Imagemagick convert utility. Use **-help** or **-man** for more information and examples

## OPTIONS

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

-

  Be noisy when doing things

**--version**

-

  Print version number and exit

\-?, **--help**

-

  Dump some quick help output

**--man**

-

  Dump a man page

**-c** **--clobber**

-

  overwrite the output file if it exists already

**-f** **--fake**

-

  do a dry run, (echo cmds only). This is usually used in combination with **-verbose** to echo commands only

**--scale**

-

  scaling factor for resulting image, by default images are output at twice their original resolution

**--width**

-

  autoscale the resulting image to have a fixed image width (in pixels)

**--depth**

-

  bitdepth for resulting image 8 or 16 (MSB machines only!)

**--title**

-

  add a title to the resulting image, if just this option is specified the text used for the title is the name of the input image file.

**--title\_text**

-

  use the input string for the title \[default: input-filename\]. This option must be used in conjunction with **-title**

**--title\_size**

-

  font point size for the title

**--anot\_bar**

-

  create an annotated bar to match the image (use height of the output image)

-

  Image range and lookup table options:

**--range**

-

  valid range of values for MINC file

**--image\_range**

-

  range of image values to use for pixel intensity

**--auto\_range**

-

  automatically determine image range using a 5 and 95% PcT. (histogram)

**--lookup**

-

  arguments to pass to minclookup

-

  Slicing options:

**-s** **--slice**

-

  slice number to get. (note this is in voxel co-ordinates)

**-z** **--axial** **--transverse**

-

  get an axial/transverse (z) slice

**-y** **--coronal**

-

  get a coronal (y) slice

**-x** **--sagittal**

-

  get a sagital (x) slice

-

  Triplanar options:

**-t** **--triplanar**

-

  create a triplanar view of the input file

**--tilesize**

-

  pixel size for each image in a triplanar

**--sagittal\_offset**

-

  offset the sagittal slice from the centre

**--sagittal\_offset\_perc**

-

  offset the sagittal slice by a percentage from the centre

**--vertical**

-

  create a vertical triplanar view (Default)

**--horizontal**

-

  create a horizontal triplanar view
