Purpose:

This program will take a 3-dimensional image file and convert it into a series of 2-dimensional image files.

Usage:

separate input output [overwrite-permission(y/n)]

where the following definitions apply:

input

the name of the input image file

output

prefix name of the output image files

overwrite-permission(y/n)

'y' grants permission to overwrite output (with file numbers appended)

Examples:

• If the file mri contains 150 planes of data, files mrislice001 to mrislice150 will be created. If the file mri contains 15 planes of data, files mrislice01 to mrislice15 will be created

Comments:

• Each resulting output file will have the same x and y dimensions as the input file and a z dimension of one. The voxel sizes will be unchanged from the input file.
• The number of digits used to encode file names will be automatically adjusted to assure that all output file names have the same length. This program can now handle files with more that 999 planes.

Error messages: (alphabetical by case)
