The NIfTImatlab tool allows the user to operate on NIfTI image files from Matlab.

License

niftimatlab is licensed under the standard BSD license.

Current version:

1.1, released May 4, 2009.

Download

You can download the source code with pre-compiled mex files from niftimatlab.tar.gz.

The mex files where compiled for the following O/S and MATLAB versions:

• Mac OSX 10.5 with MATLAB 7.5 for PowerPC (extension ".mexmac") and Intel (extension ".mexmaci")
• Mac OSX 10.5 with MATLAB 7.9 for Intel (extension ".mexmaci64")
• Linux Fedora 11 with MATLAB 7.5 (extension ".mexglx")

Build Instructions

The version of the nifticlib needed for the tools is included in the distribution. It will be built inside the NIfTImatlab directory in the nifticlib/lib subdirctory.

$ cd NIfTImatlab
$ autoconf
$ ./configure [arguments]
$ make all
$ make install (optional)

The most common arguments for configure are:

• --bindir=DIR : where to install the NIfTImatlab scripts and executables
• --libdir=DIR : where to install the libraries

N.B.: the build depends on either $TMW_ROOT being defined, or the command matlab to point to the correct Matlab executable. If neither condition is met, the build will fail.

Usage

Please look at the file NIfTImatlab/examples/niftiexample.m for some basic operations. Also, from within Matlab, the command

>> help niftifile

will provide top level help.
