The MGH/MGZ Volume Format

WORK IN PROGRESS

The .mgh file format is used to store high-resolution structural data and other data which are to be overlaid on the high-resolution structural volume. A .mgz file is a .mgh file that has been compressed with ZLib.

The MGH format is proprietary, defined by the NMR Center (at Massachusetts General Hospital). Short of having a formal specification of this format, the next best thing is a snapshot of the C code showing how a .mgh or .mgz file is read and written:

attachment:mri.h - .mgh file merely stores contents of MRI data structure, defined in mri.h
attachment:matrix.h - MRI data structure contains MATRIX
attachment:mriio.c - see 'mghRead' and 'mghWrite' routines
attachment:mri.c - contains helper routines used in mriio.c
attachment:mri_info.c - source for mri_info utility; see 'do_file' routine
attachment:mri_convert.c - source for mri_convert utility; many examples of reading and writing .mgh and .mgz files
