= 3rd party tools which were made to understand MINC using EZMINC =

Advanced Normalization Tools (ANTS)
Non-linear diffeomorphic registration tool, home page: http://picsl.upenn.edu/ANTS/ MINCIFIED version based on version 1.9 can read .mnc files, if the output have extension is .xfm, it will produce MINC style xfm files for forward and backward transformations. Note that non-linear part is stored in a separate file with suffix _grid_0.mnc (referenced from xfm files)

ITK SNAP
Visual tools for manual segmentation of anatomical images, home page: http://www.itksnap.org MINCIFIED version based on version 2.0.0: WARNING: Please upgrade to the latest version of binary package or compile EZminc version r73 or later if using source. A bug was fixed in the previous version leading to occasional corruption of minc files with labels due to inter-slice normalization.
