You might find the example programs in the minc distribution useful. Look
in minc-1.2/progs/mincexample. The second one is probably more helpful.

Note that volume_io is intended to be simple to use, but it imposes its
internal data structures on you. The core minc library is intended to be
flexible and simple (which is very different from simple to use!),
allowing you to determine the internal data structures, but it is much
harder to use (especially if you want to write a program that operates on
all minc files). I hope that the examples make the job easier.
