Purpose:

This program will apply a binary mask to a file. Any voxel where the mask has a value of zero will generate an output value of zero. Any voxel where the mask is nonzero will retain the input value.

Usage:

binarymask input maskfile output [overwrite?(y/n)]

where the following definitions apply:

input

the name of the 8 or 16 bit input file

maskfile

the name of the binary mask file (8 or 16 bit files will not be accepted)

output

the name of the output file

overwrite?(y/n)

'y' if you want to allow overwriting of existing files output

Examples:

• The binary mask in bineditedmri.img will be applied to the image originalmri.img to create editedmri.img

Comments:

• Mismatches in the number of planes between maskfile and input are no longer supported in order to provide stricter error checking.
