vbim <flag> ...

vbim is part of the VoxBo suite of tools for brain image analysis.

vbim is a multi-purpose program that applies various simple manipulations to 3D and 4D images.

vbim performs a set of operations, specified by option flags, in sequence. To get a complete list of available flags, run the program with no arguments.

To get very basic info about a file:

• vbim foo.nii -info

To get more detailed information about the data within a mask:

• vbim foo.nii -regioninfo mask.nii

To apply a mask to a 3D image and write out the result:

• vbim image.nii -mask mask.nii -write maskedimage.nii

To mask a 4D image:

• vbim image.nii -mask mask.nii -write4D maskedimage.nii

To average a bunch of 3D volumes:

• vbim *.nii.gz -average -write mean.nii.gz

To create a lesion count map from a set of lesion masks:

• vbim *.nii -count -write count.nii.gz

To create a 4D volume (20x20x20 voxels, 32-bit int, 10 time points) of random data with a mean of 100 and sd of 10:

• vbim -newvol 20 20 20 10 int32 -addnoise 100 10 -write3d myvol.nii

Pre-built VoxBo binaries are available for Linux, OSX, and Cygwin, and via the NeuroDebian project (neuro.debian.net) for Debian derivatives.
