Hi everyone,

I'm using mri_convert to reinforce TR information into the Nifti header in the following manner:

mri_convert $FILE $FILE -tr $TR

Before the conversion, my file size is usually around 550MB but after the conversion is doubles in size to ~1.1GB. In the Nifto file header I've noticed that the data type usually changes from int16 to float32.

Is there a quick way to decrease the file size or revert back to int16 without affecting the data?

Thanks for you help,

Afsana
