Hi jens
Here's a few rows of code to find out the position of the minimum absolute
value of a complex 3D array called compl_kspace_vol. Hope it helps (and that
it is correct). Note that you have to use data types that can handle numbers
as large as "minpos" everywhere (almost) in order to get the mods and
divisions right.
Sincerely
Jonas

print, 'finding min'
mincompl=min(abs(compl_kspace_vol), minpos)
print, 'minimum value of 3D matrix:', mincompl
print, minpos
XYpos=minpos mod (long(xsize)*long(ysize))
Zpos = minpos/(long(xsize)*long(ysize))
Xpos = xypos mod xsize
Ypos = xypos/xsize
print, 'Position of minimum value:'
print, 'xpos=', xpos
print, 'ypos=', ypos
print, 'slice=', zpos
