And I think once perhaps I computed xdim*ydim*bytes-per-pixel and used the
Linux tail command to strip the header off the ima files.  Then I used cat
to put them together to form a raw file.  Or I dreamed it.

What can be nightmarish about this is when the slice order differs from the
Linux shell file sort order.  Then you must come to grips with the fact
that you need a software utility to import these for you.

Freesurfer's mri_convert probably fits the bill, too.

FSL is another software package for viewing and manipulating MRI images,

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.
