NIFTI-rs  

This library is a pure Rust implementation for reading files in the NIfTI format (more specifically NIfTI-1.1).

Example

Please see the documentation for more.

```rust use nifti::{NiftiObject, InMemNiftiObject, NiftiVolume};

let obj = InMemNiftiObject::from_file("myvolume.nii.gz")?; // use obj let header = obj.header(); let volume = obj.volume(); let dims = volume.dim(); ```

The library will automatically look for the respective volume when specifying just the header file:

```rust use nifti::{NiftiObject, InMemNiftiObject};

let obj = InMemNiftiObject::from_file("myvolume.hdr.gz")?; ```

With the ndarray_volumes feature enabled, you can also convert a volume to an ndarray::Array and work from there:

rust let volume = obj.into_volume().into_ndarray::<f32>();

Roadmap

This library should hopefully fulfil a good number of use cases. However, some gaps are yet to be filled fill. In particular, future versions should be able to:

• Write NIFTI files;
• Provide a more elegant volume API;
• Handle more kinds of volumes;
• Provide a real spatial-temporal interpretation of the volume (rather than just voxel-indexed);

There are no deadlines for these features, so your help is much appreciated. Consider filing an issue in case something is missing for your use case to work. Pull requests are also welcome.
