#include <itkMRCImageIO.h>

Detailed Description

An ImageIO class to read the MRC file format. The MRC file format frequently has the extension ".mrc" or ".rec". It is used frequently for electron microscopy and is an emerging standard for cryo-electron tomography and molecular imaging. The format is used to represent 2D, 3D images along with 2D tilt series for tomography.

The header of the file can contain important information which can not be represented in an Image. Therefor the header is placed into the MetaDataDictionary of "this". The key to access this is MetaDataHeaderName ( fix me when renamed ).

See also: MRCHeaderObject MetaDataDictionary

This implementation is designed to support IO Streaming of arbitrary regions.

As with all ImageIOs this class is designed to work with ImageFileReader and ImageFileWriter, so its direct use is discouraged.

This code was contributed in the Insight Journal paper: "A Streaming IO Base Class and Support for Streaming the MRC and VTK File Format" by Lowekamp B., Chen D. https://doi.org/10.54294/olkmog9
