f.read.analyze.header {AnalyzeFMRI}R Documentation

read Analyze header file

Description

Reads the ANALYZE image format .hdr header file into a list.

Usage

f.read.analyze.header(file)

Arguments

file The .hdr file to be read

Value

A list containing the information in the fields of the .hdr file.

file.name path name of the .img file
swap TRUE or FALSE variable indicating whether files are big or little endian
sizeof.hdr Must indicate the byte size of the header file
data.type character vector indicating data storage type for each voxel
db.name
extents Should be 16384, the image file is created as contiguous with a minimum extent size
session.error
regular Must be `r' to indicate that all images and volumes are the same size
hkey.un0
dim vector of the image dimensions: dim[1] Number of dimensions in database, usually 4; dim[2] Image X dimension; number of pixels in an image row; dim[3] Image Y dimension; number of pixel rows in slice; dim[4] Volume Z dimension, number of slices in a volume; dim[5] Time points, number of volumes in database
vox.units specifies the spatial units of measure for a voxel
cal.units specifies the name of the calibration unit i.e. pixel,voxel
unused1
datatype integer indicator of data storage type for this image
bitpix number of bits per pixel: 1, 8, 16, 32, or 64
dim.un0 unused
pixdim Parallel vector to dim, giving real world measurements in mm. and ms. pixdim[1]: voxel width in mm. pixdim[2]: voxel height in mm. pixdim[3]: slice thickness in mm.
vox.offset byte offset in the .img file at which voxels start. This value can be negative to specify that the absolute value is applied for every image in the file
scale specify the range of calibration values. SPM extends the Analyze format by using a scaling factor for the image from the header
