tagtominc

convert a tag file to a labelled MINC volume

tagtominc example_volume.mnc input.tag output.mnc [structure_id|-1] [crop]

DESCRIPTION

tagtominc converts a tag point file into a MINC volume. Voxels at each tag point location are set to the structure ID stored in the tag file. An example MINC volume is required to define the output sampling grid (dimensions, voxel sizes, and coordinate system).

If structure_id is specified, only tag points with that particular structure ID are included in the output. A value of -1 includes all tags (the default behaviour).

If the crop argument is specified, the output MINC volume is cropped to the bounding box of the tag points rather than using the full extent of the example volume.

EXAMPLES

tagtominc template.mnc landmarks.tag output.mnc

tagtominc template.mnc landmarks.tag output.mnc 3

tagtominc template.mnc landmarks.tag output.mnc -1 crop
