Other available open source Bruker converter:

• pvconv: from Bruker to Analyze, Perl. Needs d3proc, therefore obsoleted in PV 6. See issue 33.
• Bru2Nii: from Bruker to Nifti, written in Pascal and provided with Graphical User Interface. Active and maintained alternative to the code proposed in this repository.
• mpi: from Bruker to Vistasoft or Analyze in Matlab. Conversion is based on the parameters contained in the reco parameter file. This parameter file exists only if the image was created using ParaVision reconstruction.
• Bruker2nifti: from Bruker to Nifti, Matlab (not maintained anymore?).
• Bruker2nifti.m Matlab converter embedded in fMrat, an extension of SPM for pre-clinical fMRI rat time-series.
• mrtrix3/convert_bruker a not easy to find Bruker to .mih format converter inside the mrtrix3 DWI analyses toolbox. Based as well on reco parameter file, not always available in Bruker file structures.
• dicomifier From bruker to DICOM and from DICOM to NifTI. Written in Python and C++.
• bruker a most recent and maintained bruker data visualiser and converter, with the ambition of becoming a toolkit for further analysis of Bruker data. Written in python with an interesting GUI, it is recommended as alternative to the converter proposed here.
