Purpose:

This program will combine as series of 2-dimensional image files into a single 3-dimensional image file.

Usage:

#1:reunite output overwrite?(y/n) inputs

#2:reunite output overwrite?(y/n) -f file-list

where the following definitions apply:

output

name of the image file to be created

overwrite?(y/n)

'y' grants permisssion to overwrite output

inputs

any number of input image files

file-list

an ASCII text file containing a list of input image file names, separated by tabs, spaces, line feeds or carriage returns

Examples:

• On a UNIX system, this command will combine a series of files numbered mrislice001 (or mrislice000 if you like) through mrislice999 (or more likely a smaller number) into a single file called mri.img. Note that the presence of a file mrislicexyz.hdr (where xyz is not a number) will result in an attempt to incorporate that file as well. The use of the .hdr or .img suffix is mandatory in this context--if you use mrislice*, you will end up with twice as many planes as you expect because each file will be entered twice (once as mrislice*.img and once as mrislice*.hdr).

• The files listed in the file slicelist will be combined to create a file called mri

Comments:

• All input files must have identical matrix dimensions.
• Each input file must consist of a single plane of data.

Error messages: (alphabetical by case)

The -f flag must be followed by an ASCII file name

• Provide the name of a file that contains a list of single plane image files with identical dimensions
