How to convert .nii to .nii.gz file?
14,072
As far as I know, there is nothing special about zipping NIfTI files. In MATLAB, you could simply do:
gzip('niftifilename.nii') % this will return niftifilename.nii.gz
gzip('*.nii') % for multiple nii files to create one .nii.gz
To work with the file again, you can unzip it, using gunzip
. I've tried this on my Mac (don't know if this will work on Windows).
Typically, they are volume data, and hence take up a fair bit of disk space. Zipping it is purely for reducing the size of the file, and should not modify data.
