.SH DESCRIPTION

The 
.B upet2mnc 
command is used to convert Concorde microPET format files to MINC format.

The microPET format consists of two files, a binary image and a text
header. The header file generally has the same name as the image with
the suffix ".hdr" appended.  Normally you can specify the name of either
the binary image or the text header file on the command line.  However,
both of the files should be in the same directory for the converter to
locate both files correctly.

.SH "OPTIONS"
Note that options can be specified in abbreviated form (as long as they
are unique) and can be given anywhere on the command line.
