NIFTI-rs

This library is a pure Rust implementation for reading files in the NIfTI format (more specifically NIfTI-1.1).

Example

use nifti::{NiftiObject, ReaderOptions, NiftiVolume};

let obj = ReaderOptions::new().read_file("myvolume.nii.gz")?;
// use obj
let header = obj.header();
let volume = obj.volume();
let dims = volume.dim();

The library will automatically look for the respective volume when specifying just the header file:

use nifti::{NiftiObject, ReaderOptions};

let obj = ReaderOptions::new().read_file("myvolume.hdr.gz")?;

With the ndarray_volumes feature (enabled by default), you can also convert a volume to an ndarray::Array and work from there:

let volume = obj.into_volume().into_ndarray::<f32>();

In addition, the nalgebra_affine feature unlocks the affine module, for useful affine transformations.

Roadmap

This library should hopefully fulfil a good number of use cases. However, not all features of the format are fully available. There are no deadlines for these features, so your help is much appreciated. Please visit the issue tracker and tracker for version 1.0. In case something is missing for your use case to work, please find an equivalent issue of file a new one. Pull requests are also welcome.
