    • 1. Free Softwares

  • SPM
  • MRIcron Supports the modern NIfTI format. It includes the dcm2nii (DICOM to NIfTI converter) and npm (statistical analysis) tools.
  • MRIcro is a simple image viewer with basic drawing tools. While we suggest people consider using the more advanced MRIcron, this older software remains popular.
