I tried using mri_convert without conform, same thing.
Basically, I think if I set -ns = 1 when I use mri_convert, it will not rescale the image. But when I open it using tkmedit, I still can not see the intensity contrast.
So I think my question is why the same volume (with the same max intensity and minimum intensity) looks different in fslview and tkmedit?
Thanks!

why do you want to conform it?

Actually, I also noticed that when mri_convert runs, it says something like "changing data type from 3 to 0 " The data type of the nii file is float32, while the converted .mgz id uchar, is it the problem?
Thanks Guang

Hi, there,
I got a question about mri_convert. I have a brainmask.nii file, (max intensity value is 64, and minimum intensity is 0), it shows good intensity contrast. Now I want to use mri_convert to convert it to mgz file, my command line is
mri_convert A.nii --conform A.mgz
Now, I open A.mgz using Tkmedit, I can not see those significant intensity contrast now, and the max intensity value is 255, and minimum intensity is 0 It looks like mri_convert do something like histogram equalization or normalization.
Will mri_convert actually change the intensity value of each voxel? Can I keep my original intensity value for each voxel? Use the mri_convert -sc?
Thanks a lot!
Guang
