¥Method 1: Create datasets with program to3d [principal subject of this talk]
HInput
files are arrays of numbers --- i.e., image files
¥Method 2: Realtime input from an external image source program
(e.g., directly from scannerÕs
reconstructed images)
HAFNI
program Imon reads image files
from GE realtime EPI output, checks them for various errors, sends them into AFNI for display
and formatting --- while acquisition continues
HSample
program rtfeedme can be
used to write your own image source program
¥Method 3: AFNI programs can read other formats for display and
analysis
HANALYZETM 7.5 format Þ.hdr/.img file pairs
åUsed
by SPM and many other programs
åMajor
drawback: lack of spatial orientation and position information in header
íCan be
difficult to overlay ANALYZE datasets with other datasets
HMINC format Þ .mnc files
åUsed
by software from Montreal Neurological Institute --- mnitools
HCTF format Þ .svl files
åGenerated
from CTF MEG data analysis software package
