public class FileMGH
extends FileBase
```
The class reads MGH files. The 4 by 4 matrix in MGH transforms x,y,z indexes to (right, anterior, superior) coordinates where +x = Right, +y = Anterior, +z = Superior. In MIPAV the 4 by 4 matrix does not imply the axis orientations.
The MGH definition is: [right] = [xr yr zr] [ xsize * x] + [rorigin] [anterior] = [xa ya za] [ ysize * y] + [aorigin] [superior] = [xs ys zs] [ zsize * z] + [sorigin] Now in going to MIPAV a change must occur. MGH has L->R and P->A while MIPAV uses R->L in all axes and A->P in axes 0 and 1 and P->A in axis 2, so this would cause xr, yr, zr, rorigin, xa, ya, za, and aorigin to be multiplied by -1. cr, ca, and cs refer to the center point of the scanner coordinate system.

A 284 byte header always precedes the data buffer In version 1 if the goodRASFlag 0, then the first 90 bytes are read

Immediately after the data buffer other optional data structures may be found: They are: Recovery time in milliseconds float Flip angle in radians float Echo time in milliseconds float Inversion time in millseconds float Field of view in millimeters float Comment about fov field from Nick Schmansky: The FoV field should be ignored. In discussing this field with Bruce Fischl, and looking more closely at the code, it appears to be a field with a long and inconsistent usage history (in how it is set and where the data originates). We do not rely on it in our binaries. Lastly, tags including the Talairach transform file name and a list of commands used to create this data(provenance info) may be present.

I am not reading the contents of the Talairach transform file for 3 reasons: 1.) This information is probably not very useful. 2.) Every sample file that I obtained from MGH gave the same name: talairach.xfm. If this name is always used, then it is impossible to tell which .mgh file it corresponds to. 3.) The Talairach transform file is a clear ascii file, so it can be easily read with any number of common programs.

    finalize in class FileBase
  - getFileInfo
```
public FileInfoMGH getFileInfo()
```
    Returns the FileInfoMGH read from the file.
    
    Returns:
    
    File info read from file, or null if it has not been read.

```
    Reads the MGH header and stores the information in fileInfo.
    
    Parameters:
    
    imageFileName - File name of image.
    
    fileDir - Directory.
    
    Returns:
    
    Flag to confirm a successful read.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if there is an error reading the header

    Reads a MGH image file by reading the header then making a FileRaw to read the image for all filenames in the file list. Only the one file directory (currently) supported.
    
    Parameters:
    
    one - flag indicating one image of a 3D dataset should be read in.
    
    Returns:
    
    The image.

```
    Reads a MGH image file by reading the header then making a FileRaw to read the file. Image data is left in buffer. If the fileInfo cannot be found, the header will be located and read first. Image is not 'flipped', and neither units of measure nor orientation are set.
    
    Parameters:
    
    buffer - Image buffer to store image data into.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if there is an error reading the file

```
    Writes a MGH or MGZ format type image.
    
    Parameters:
    
    image - Image model of data to write.
    
    options - options such as starting and ending slices and times
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if there is an error writing the file
  - attachFileInfo
```
private void attachFileInfo(FileInfoMGH fileInfo,
                            ModelImage image)
```
    DOCUMENT ME!
    
    Parameters:
    
    fileInfo - -- a NIFTI file Info that has already been read
    
    image - -- a ModelImage that the fileInfo needs to be attached to
  - getAxisOrientation
```
public static int[] getAxisOrientation(TransMatrix mat)
```
    Return the 3 axis orientation codes that correspond to the closest standard anatomical orientation of the (i,j,k) axes.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mat - 4x4 matrix that transforms (i,j,k) indexes to x,y,z coordinates where +x =Left, +y = Posterior, +z = Superior Only the upper-left 3x3 corner of the matrix is used This routine finds the permutation of (x,y,z) which has the smallest angle to the (i,j,k) axes directions, which are columns of the input matrix Errors: The codes returned will be zero.
    
    Returns:
    
    DOCUMENT ME!
  - getOffset
```
private int getOffset()
```
    Helper method to calculate the offset for getting only the middle NIFTI image slice from the 3D file.
    
    Returns:
    
    offset
  - updateorigins
```
private void updateorigins(FileInfoBase[] fileInfo)
```
    Updates the start locations. Each image has a fileinfo where the start locations are stored. Note that the start location for the Z (3rd) dimension change with the change is the slice. The origin is in the upper left corner and we are using the right hand rule. + x -> left to right; + y -> top to bottom and + z -> into screen.
    
    Parameters:
    
    fileInfo - DOCUMENT ME!
