[docs]def write_nifti(data, file_name, affine=None, target_affine=None, resample=True, output_shape=None, interp_order=3, mode='constant', cval=0, dtype=None): """ Write numpy data into NIfTI files to disk. This function converts data into the coordinate system defined by `target_affine` when `target_affine` is specified. if the coordinate transform between `affine` and `target_affine` could be achieved by simply transposing and flipping `data`, no resampling will happen. otherwise this function will resample `data` using the coordinate transform computed from `affine` and `target_affine`. Note that the shape of the resampled `data` may subject to some rounding errors. For example, resampling a 20x20 pixel image from pixel size (1.5, 1.5)-mm to (3.0, 3.0)-mm space will return a 10x10-pixel image. However, resampling a 20x20-pixel image from pixel size (2.0, 2.0)-mm to (3.0, 3.0)-mma space will output a 14x14-pixel image, where the image shape is rounded from 13.333x13.333 pixels. In this case `output_shape` could be specified so that this function writes image data to a designated shape. when `affine` and `target_affine` are None, the data will be saved with an identity matrix as the image affine. This function assumes the NIfTI dimension notations. Spatially It supports up to three dimensions, that is, H, HW, HWD for 1D, 2D, 3D respectively. When saving multiple time steps or multiple channels `data`, time and/or modality axes should be appended after the first three dimensions. For example, shape of 2D eight-class segmentation probabilities to be saved could be `(64, 64, 1, 8)`, Args: data (numpy.ndarray): input data to write to file. file_name (string): expected file name that saved on disk. affine (numpy.ndarray): the current affine of `data`. Defaults to `np.eye(4)` target_affine (numpy.ndarray, optional): before saving the (`data`, `affine`) as a Nifti1Image, transform the data into the coordinates defined by `target_affine`. resample (bool): whether to run resampling when the target affine could not be achieved by swapping/flipping data axes. output_shape (None or tuple of ints): output image shape. this option is used when resample = True. interp_order (int): the order of the spline interpolation, default is 3. The order has to be in the range 0 - 5. https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.ndimage.affine_transform.html this option is used when `resample = True`. mode (`reflect|constant|nearest|mirror|wrap`): The mode parameter determines how the input array is extended beyond its boundaries. this option is used when `resample = True`. cval (scalar): Value to fill past edges of input if mode is "constant". Default is 0.0. this option is used when `resample = True`. dtype (np.dtype, optional): convert the image to save to this data type.
