# NIFTI Export

## Overview

The NIFTI Export plugin is an export plugin that converts medical brush annotations from NRRD format to NIFTI format.

Use this plugin when you need to download medical brush segmentation data in `.nii` format.

<table data-card-size="large" data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th align="center"></th><th data-hidden data-card-cover data-type="image">Cover image</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td align="center">NIFTI Export</td><td data-object-fit="contain"><a href="/files/MTbrbXNgSqLqtLAdA2fN">/files/MTbrbXNgSqLqtLAdA2fN</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

## Plugin Functionality

The NIFTI Export plugin processes the selected export tasks and converts each medical brush annotation package from NRRD to NIFTI.

The plugin returns a ZIP file containing an Ango export JSON. In that JSON, the plugin replaces the medical brush data URL with a URL pointing to a generated NIFTI ZIP file for each processed asset.

This plugin is intended for medical brush annotation exports. Assets without medical brush data will not produce converted NIFTI brush data.
{% endhint %}

### Supported Data Types

* Medical assets with brush annotation data exported as NRRD brush data.

### Supported Annotation Tools

* Medical Brush

## Plugin Configuration

From the **Stage Filter** field, pick the stages containing the tasks you'd like to export. Similarly, from the **Batch Filter** field, you may select one or more batches. By default, all tasks are exported from all batches.

If you wish to receive an email when the export is complete, toggle **Send Email** on.

You may vary logging behavior from the **Config JSON** field:

```json
{
  "verbose": true,
  "verbose_frequency": 10
}
```

* **"verbose":** Enables progress logs while the export is running.
  * Example:
    * <kbd>"verbose": true</kbd>
    * <kbd>"verbose": false</kbd>

* **"verbose\_frequency":** Defines how frequently progress logs are displayed when verbose logging is enabled.
  * Example:
    * <kbd>"verbose\_frequency": 10</kbd>
