NiBabel
Read / write access to some common neuroimaging file formats
This package provides read +/- write access to some common medical and
neuroimaging file formats, including: ANALYZE_ (plain, SPM99, SPM2 and later),
GIFTI_, NIfTI1_, NIfTI2_, MINC1_, MINC2_, MGH_ and ECAT_ as well as Philips
PAR/REC. We can read and write Freesurfer_ geometry, and read Freesurfer
morphometry and annotation files. There is some very limited support for
DICOM_. NiBabel is the successor of PyNIfTI_.
