There is support for MINC2 file format through ITK_USE_MINC2 option in 
the advanced options section, or using separate package EZMINC: 
http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/~vfonov/software/ezminc_r36.tar.gz
MINC2 format is using HDF5 format for storing data on disk.

To build either of them it you will need
netcdf 3.xx, hdf5 1.6.x and minc2 ( 
http://packages.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/tgz/minc-2.0.18.tar.gz ) libraries
If you will be using EZMINC, set environment variable MINC_FORCE_V2=1 to 
create files in HDF5 format.


P.S. I recommend using EZMINC.
