Hello Doug,
Is it possible using mri_convert to just reorder the way in which the
data is stored, without any resampling of the actual voxel values?

i.e., I have Siemen's MPRAGE DICOMs, and if run mri_convert, I get a
default "PIL" orientation.  I would like to just reorder the way in
which the data is stored, to get a "LAS" orientation instead.

I tried using "--out_orientation LAS", but that does a resampling
(interpolation) such that the resulting xform has strictly 0's on the
off-diagonal.  And reading the mri_convert help, it clearly states that
the --out_orientation flag is to be used when the input orientation is
WRONG, which is not the case here (since I presume that the input
orientation is correctly read out of the DICOMs).

I tried "--reorder 2 1 3", to see what effect that has on a file already
in nii format, but I got the message: in nii format, but I got the
message:
reordering axes...
MRIreorder: incorrect dst width
error reordering axes

I've checked the archives, and read through the mri_convert help, but
just can't seem to figure out if reordering from one orientation to
another (without resampling) is possible using mri_convert.

thanks,
-MH
