A Java library for reading and writing NIfTI volumes

niftijio

This project is a Java library for reading and writing NIfTI image volumes. This includes support for header metadata, various datatypes, and multichannel volumes. When a volume is read from a file, the image intensities are stored in a four-dimensional double array. The array indices match the order in the 'dim' array of the header.

A jar can be built using Maven by executing 'mvn package'.

The file format specification can be found here:

The code for reading the header was derived from the following implementation:

The code for little-endian streams is provided by Roedy Green:
