In addition, NiBabel also supports FreeSurfer_'s MGH_, geometry, annotation and morphometry files, and provides some limited support for DICOM_.

NiBabel's API gives full or selective access to header information (metadata), and image data is made available via NumPy arrays. For more information, see NiBabel's documentation site_ and API reference_.
