Technical note

Before you convert NII to SHP

The standard NII 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.

Map Data Workflow

Bring files into a GIS

Need NII content inside a GIS project? reaConverter converts it to SHP offline and in batch, so a whole folder arrives in the format your GIS expects. Placing it on the map is then a job for the GIS.

  • Convert a whole folder to SHP in one pass
  • Apply the same settings to every file in the batch
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

FAQ

NII to SHP Conversion

What are NII files?

It preserves spatial orientation and voxel dimensions alongside the raw imaging data to ensure accurate anatomical mapping.

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.
