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

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.

There is also nifti_tool which comes with nitfilib (nifticlib) http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=126549
$ nifti_tool -disp_hdr -infiles mynifti.nii
