Technical note

How NII.GZ and SHP differ in practice

The standard NII.GZ header has no fields for a patient's name, birth date or accession number, only an 80-character free-text description, which is one reason research pipelines convert DICOM to NIfTI before data is shared. That does not make every output anonymous. A head scan contains the face, and a 3D rendering of the volume can reconstruct it well enough to recognise someone, which is why public datasets are usually defaced first. Slices that pass through the front of the head carry the same risk.

FAQ

NII.GZ to SHP Conversion

What are NII.GZ files?

nii.gz (NIfTI — Neuroimaging Informatics Technology Initiative) is a file format widely used for storing medical and scientific neuroimaging data. A single NIfTI file can contain a 3D or 4D image volume, such as an MRI or fMRI scan, along with information describing the image dimensions, voxel size and spatial orientation. NIfTI files are commonly used in neuroscience, brain imaging and medical research, and can be stored as uncompressed .nii files or compressed .nii.gz files.

What are SHP files?

The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
