MRIConvert is a medical image file conversion utility that converts DICOM files to NIfTI 1.1, FSL NIfTI, Analyze 7.5, SPM99/Analyze, BrainVoyager, and MetaImage volume formats. Medical image data can be (and is) stored in a variety of ways. In order to orient a two-dimensional image or three-dimensional volume in space, one needs to know how the order of the data on disk relates to a standard set of axes. For medical imaging, these axes are generally chosen to correspond to the directions left/right, posterior/anterior, and superior/inferior.
