[Insight-users] Differences between Module_ITKIOMINC and Module_ITKMINC ?

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Ricardo,

The major limitation is NetCDF -- ITK does not build this third party
library.  ITK does build HDF5 by default.

My understanding is that there are nice tools that convert minc1 to minc2.

HTH,
Matt
