If you want a simple way to read things all in and then out and not
worry about the voxel data type, then if you are sticking with MINC
1.X I have attached a few files that should give some examples of how
to do this with volume_io. The first gives a quick howto with
volume_io, the second is a makefile to suit and the third is not as
well commented but shows what to do to extend the first example to 4D.

the volume_io manuals and the likes are here:

However I would recommend that you use MINC 2.0 instead but it is
probably a little late for that now!
There are some examples for that here:

Good luck!
