Hi,

Just for clarity - DICOM (classic and enhanced) and XMLREC are supported in the base product, NIFTI forms part of a Neuroscience commercial option from release 5 onwards. PAR-REC requires a research agreement to obtain.

For the two formats XMLREC and PARREC, the "rec" part is identical but instead of a plain text file of the "par" format, the same information is now available as an XML file. This descision has been taken to allow the information to be more easily extended as the PAR file was getting increasingly limited.

I am not aware of a XML to PAR converter but standard easy to use librarys for XML exist (such as libXML2 and matlabs XML reader works).
