[MINC-users] mincreshape problem

[Soren Christensen]

Hi,
 I am trying to fix up some MINC files that were written by MIPAV, for some
reason some of these files have extra slices and displacement of the ROI.
In plane resolution is the same.
What I am stuck with is the followoing mincresample behaviour:

file: a.mnc
image: signed__ short -32768 to 32767
image dimensions: zspace yspace xspace
    dimension name         length         step        start
    --------------         ------         ----        -----
    zspace                     26            5     -77.0989
    yspace                    256      -0.9375      128.406
    xspace                    256      -0.9375      121.591


file: b.mnc
image: signed__ short -32767 to 32767
image dimensions: zspace yspace xspace
    dimension name         length         step        start
    --------------         ------         ----        -----
    zspace                     27            5     -77.0989
    yspace                    256      -0.9375      128.406
    xspace                    256      -0.9375      121.591


So file a has one slice less than b, but spatial info match. So I'd like to
resample b.mnc like a, in the hope that the top slice is irrelevant ()

mincresample -like a.mnc b.mnc b_likea.mnc
(from miattputstr): Function 'dimrename' not implemented
Transforming slices:..........................Done

#> mincinfo a.mnc b_likea.mnc
file: a.mnc
image: signed__ short -32768 to 32767
image dimensions: zspace yspace xspace
    dimension name         length         step        start
    --------------         ------         ----        -----
    zspace                     26            5     -77.0989
    yspace                    256      -0.9375      128.406
    xspace                    256      -0.9375      121.591


file: b_likea.mnc
image: signed__ short -32767 to 32767
image dimensions: zspace yspace xspace
    dimension name         length         step        start
    --------------         ------         ----        -----
    zspace                     27            5     -77.0989
    yspace                    256      -0.9375      128.406
    xspace                    256      -0.9375      121.591


So b_likea.mnc is not what expect it to be (26 slices). The file seems
broken:

Any suggestions to what is happening herE?
