RNifti

Fast R and C++ Access to NIfTI Images

v1.9.0 · Jan 13, 2026 · GPL-2
CRAN GitHub Mirror

Description

Provides very fast read and write access to images stored in the NIfTI-1, NIfTI-2 and ANALYZE-7.5 formats, with seamless synchronisation of in-memory image objects between compiled C and interpreted R code. Also provides a simple image viewer, and a C/C++ API that can be used by other packages. Not to be confused with 'RNiftyReg', which performs image registration and applies spatial transformations.
