format file
SYNOPSISecattominc [<options>] <infile> <outfile.mnc>
ecattominc [-help]
DESCRIPTIONecattominc will convert an ecat data file (version 6.x or 7.x) to a
minc file format Unless the -small_header option is specified, ecattom‐
inc will conserve the maximum informations from the ecat header and
subheader fields which will be respectively stored as attributes of the
ecat-main and ecat-subhdr minc variables. By default the whole 3D or
4D volume is converted, however, ecattominc allows for the selection of
slice and frame ranges to be copied. The voxel values of the generated
minc file are decay corrected, unless the nodecay_correct flag is spec‐
ified. Finally, blood data file can be inserted within the minc file
with the -bloodfile option.
