Cannot load .nii.gz files with MATLAB 2017b

Hi there,

I have a problem loading Nifti gz files (.nii.gz) with MATLAB 2017b.

I am loading my .nii.gz using the below:

load_untouch_nii('file path/image.nii.gz');

I got the error

Error using load_nii_hdr (line 40)

Cannot find file "file path/image.nii"

When I unzip the file then it's OK. Should I use a different funtion to load a .nii.gz file?

I think maybe it didn't unzip properly. Check what is <filename> right before you enter load_nii_hdr function, then check what is <fileprefix> upon error. This might be an issue with file permissions.
