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. An .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 declaring the MGH format, and examples of how a file is read and written:

attachment:mri.h - the MRI data structure defines the MGH
attachment:matrix.h - MRI data structure contains MATRIX
attachment:mriio.c - see MRIreadHeader, mri_read, and mri_write routines
attachment:mri.c - contains mriio.c helper routines
attachment:mri_info.c - see do_file routine
attachment:mri_convert.c
