[MINC-users] about minc data format conversion

Hi, Dear Minc expert:
      I have the same question with minc data conversion.
      Our aim is try to convert GE format data to mnc file. Since
ge5_to_minc doesn't work. So we use GE->DCM->Analyze->MNC, it seems stupid,
but it does work.
      My question is : Is  mnc data format big ending or little ending?
      Because when I try to use different tools to transfer GE->DCM, some is
big ending, some is little ending. But little ending DCM file can be
converted well, while big ending dcm doesn't.
      So, I want to confirm whether MNC data is big ending or little ending.

      Does anybody have some other method for transfer GE->MNC?

     Thanks very much!
                                                    Huiguang
