Interfile

Files ending in .ifh are Interfile header files, which store metadata for medical images. Each header file is matched with a corresponding .img raw binary image data file. medcon converts Interfile to NIfTI easily, so we generally just convert Interfile data before beginning any other pipeline steps.

medcon -c nifti -f <input_header>.ifh -o <output>.nii

Before running medcon, make sure that the name of data file field in the Interfile header file actually lists the corresponding image file. medcon will not figure this out by itself.
