FSL is another software package for viewing and manipulating MRI images,
etc, which is entirely separate from Caret:

http://www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/

to3d's help suggests that it should understand .ima, but it doesn't seem to
give much detail on how to use it:
"* Siemens .ima image files can now be read.  The program will detect if
  byte-swapping is needed on these images, and can also set voxel grid
  sizes and orientations (correctly, I hope)."

Did you try dinifti or dcm2nii?  I know at least one of them understood
.ima, but I can't remember which.

http://www.cabiatl.com/mricro/mricron/dcm2nii.html

If all that fails, you may be able to run it through dcm_to_4dfp and
nifti_4dfp from the 4dfp suite, but that will probably involve building it
from source unless you already have it installed.
