Read and write access to common neuroimaging file formats, including: ANALYZE (plain, SPM99, SPM2 and later), GIFTI, NIfTI1, NIfTI2, CIFTI-2, MINC1, MINC2, AFNI BRIK/HEAD, ECAT and Philips PAR/REC. In addition, NiBabel also supports FreeSurfer’s MGH, geometry, annotation and morphometry files, and provides some limited support for DICOM.
NiBabel’s API gives full or selective access to header information (metadata), and image data is made available via NumPy arrays. For more information, see NiBabel’s documentation site and API reference.

pip install nibabel
