can you send us the full command line and screen output of the mri_binarize command?

Hi Bruce,
I am confused, too.
If the conversion is proper, why does mri_binarize not find values below
~53? when I call mri_binarize with -match on the MNC file or on any of the
converted NIFTI files?

      Hi Caspar

      now, I'm confused. So it sounds like mri_convert is doing the
      conversion properly then?

            Hi Bruce,
            mri_diff does not return any differences. However,
            when I load the MNC file
            into Matlab using loadminc
            
(http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/32644-loadminc),
            I do
            retain all the values between 0 and 255. Also, I
            have something like an
            annotation file for the MNC file that lists values
            between 0 and 255.
            The MNC is unsigned byte.

                  how do you know that the values were there
            before? Try running
                  mri_diff on the .nii and the .mnc and see if
            it finds any
                  differences

                        Hi Bruce,
                        I have tried the two following commands,
            and various
                        flags on mri_convert:
                        mnc2nii -nii -int paxinos-MNI.mnc
            paxinos-MNI.nii
                        mri_convert -i paxinos-MNI.mnc -o
            paxinos-MNI.nii

                        Yhe output of the latter would be:
                        mri_convert -i paxinos-MNI.mnc -o
            paxinos-MNI.nii

                        for mri_convert, --nochange, -odt
            float/int/uchar,
                        --no_scale 1 all do not
                        make a difference.

                        It could be that the problem arises once
            I call
                        mri_binarize afterwards. I
                        know that there are values between 1 and
            256 in the
                        MNC file, but when I
                        call mri_binarize with -match on the MNC
            file or on
                        any of the converted
                        NIFTI files, it does not find any values
            lower than
                        53 or so.

                              Hi Caspar

                              hmm, I don't know why that would
            be the case.
                        Can you send the
                              full command line and screen
            output?
                              cheers

                                    Hi!
                                    I am having some troubles
            converting MNC
                        files to
                                    NII while preserving the
                                    exact values in the MNC
            file. I have
                        tried to use
                                    mri_convert and mnc2nii,
                                    but in both cases, the
            values in the
                        file output get
                                    changed. The help of
                                    mri_convert mentions that
            the output for
                        MNC files
                                    may not work.
                                    Is there a workaround or a
            recommended
                        procedure to
                                    convert MNC into NII?
                                    Thanks, Caspar
