Q:’ This is probably a trivial problem, yet I’m struggling to figure it out. How can I select a single slice from a 120 slice minc volume? I then want to import this slice into R using RMINC (minc.get.volumes) so I guess I would have to first extract the slice using a minc-related operation, save it and then import it into R. Any suggestions on what the minc-operation would be?

A: Alternatively, mincreshape will allow you to pull an arbitrary slice (or hyperslab) ouf of a minc volume.
