[Insight-users] Meta image writer

[Stephen R. Aylward]

Well, it is available as part of the MetaImage format, and it is 
available in the MetaImage libraries, but it currently isn't available 
via the ITK IO interface.

I will look into adding this functionality - regretfully I don't know 
how to do it off of the top of my head because all readers are now being 
created internal to ITK - it is probably quite easy, but please give me 
a few days....

In the meantime, you can change the ElementDataFile value to LOCAL and 
then append the binary data onto the end of the header file (via a unix 
command like 'cat filename.raw >> filename.mhd') to create a single 
MetaImage file (make sure there is not a blank line or extract character 
on the line following the ElementDataFile tag line.   ITK's reader will 
work for this data.

Thanks,
Stephen
