[Insight-users] itkImageSeriesReader

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Martim,


1) You could use the same reader for reading several
    series if after calling Update() you take the output
    and invoke DisconectPipeline() on it.

    The code will look like:

    seriesReader->Update();

    ImageType::ConstPointer image1 = seriesReader->GetOutput();
    image1->DisconnectPipeline();

    // set new series in the file names selector

    seriesReader->Update();
    ImageType::ConstPointer image2 = seriesReader->GetOutput();
    image2->DisconnectPipeline();

    ... and so on.


2) Do you want to combine the three images into
    a single image with three components ?

    If so, the Compose3DVectorImageFilter is what you want:

    Note that there are also RGB and CovariantVector options.
    It all depends on the interpretation you want to give to
    the composite image.



  Regards,


     Luis
