nifti generally does not have the capability to save patient info. I might if the software that created it has a nifti extension (FreeSurfer does not, yet). There is a comment field in the nifti header, so it is possible it could be there, but unlikely (it would not be with a FreeSurfer program). A crude check is to run the unix strings program on the nifti file and see if there is anything there.

Hi freesurfers,
I have been unable to find a program/method to view the header file on some nifty files made from mri_convert with MPRAGE scans. I want to make sure the files we are creating do not have patient information in the headers. Is there an easy way to check this? Thanks.
Best, Corey
