If you have successfully built the associated minc libraries that are
distributed with mincio you should have access to a tool called
mnc2nii, which lets you convert minc to nifti or analyze. Both nifti
and analyze are supported by ITK so you should be able to read the
data without any messing around.

I haven't done this under windows though.
