Hi Dr. Smiley,

If the files are numbered like 00001.tif, 00002.tif, ..., 00099.tif, then you can do this on the command line:

cat *tif > my_monkey.raw

Then, you can import monkey.raw as a Raw Volume file. You'll need to know the dimensions (z will be # of tif files) an the datum type.

You'll be able to view this volume in Caret, but if you want to generate a 3d surface from the anatomical volume, you'll need to do this in SureFit, which is not available on MacOSX yet.

If these tiff files are, say, histological sections rather than MRI scans, then have a look at Caret 4.6 tutorial 10 (http://brainmap.wustl.edu/caret/pdf/CARET_UsersGuide.03-06.Part-II.pdf). We haven't yet generated a Caret 5.1 version of this tutorial, but I believe the same functions are available in Caret 5.1.

Hi:

I'm newly using Caret on Macintosh OSX.  I  would like to import a 3d volume 
(monkey brain) that is in a stack of consecutive Tiff files.   Could someone 
suggest a way to reformat these images for importation into Caret?

Thanks,
John Smiley
