Example 1:
Conversion of all Analyze images in directory /data/brain3/ana_unix_files
to ECAT 6.3 images in directory /data/brain2/ecat_files in Unix or Linux:
ana2ecat -6 /data/brain3/ana_unix_files /data/brain2/ecat_files
Example 2:
Conversion of all Analyze files in directory S:\temp\neuro to ECAT 7
images in directory C:\data in PC/Windows:
C:
cd \data
ana2ecat s:\temp\neuro
Program reads frame time information in SIF file, if that file is located
in the Analyze database directory and if it is named with *.sif extension.
Specific extensions to Analyze 7.5 format:
-Scale factor to retain quantitation in image_dimension.funused1
-Isotope halflife (sec) in image_dimension.funused3;
this does not imply whether data is corrected for decay or not.
-String in data_history.descrip tells whether data is corrected for decay;
'Decay corrected.' or 'No decay correction.'
