Q: Hello, does anyone have a good way to convert Philips .PAR/.REC files to minc? I’ve been using r2agui – a matlab program – but I’m having problems with it. Thanks

A: You might want to give our software, MIPAV, a try (a Java-based image processing application at http://mipav.cit.nih.gov). We support reading most Par/Rec files and writing to Minc 1 or Minc 2. A couple of caveats: our Minc writer support is currently limited to 3D volumes and only the basic image meta-information will make it over to the Minc file (origin, resolutions, orientation, etc.)
