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`_.
