What is `libminc`

The MINC file format is a highly flexible medical image file format built on the HDF5 generalized data format. The format is simple, self-describing, extensible, portable and N-dimensional, with programming interfaces for both low-level data access and high-level volume manipulation. On top of the libraries is a suite of generic image-file manipulation tools. The format, libraries and tools are designed for use in a medical-imaging research environment simple and powerful and make no attempt to provide a pretty interface to users. libminc 2.4.03 8.fc34 x86_64 273 k libminc-2.4.03-8.fc34.src.rpm fedora Core library and API of the MINC toolkit https MIT The MINC file format is a highly flexible medical image file format built on the HDF5 generalized data format.
