[Insight-users] Regarding Simple Fuzzy Connected Segementation Algorithm

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Venkata,


Here are some answers

1) In its current state, NO,
    You cannot read DICOM directly in this application.

    However, it should take you less than an afternoon
    to combine the code of this application with the
    code of the example:

           Insight/Examples/IO/
                DicomSeriesReadImageWrite.cxx

    and get it working with DICOM images a input.



2) ITK Algorithms are completely independent of the GUI.
    There is no reason why you couldn't insert a
    FuzzyConnectedness filter in the example

             InsightApplications/QtITK




3) Manipulating RAW images is in general a bad idea.

    RAW images are dangerous because it is too easy
    to get them interpreted wrong.  In practice there
    is nothing like a real RAW image. Your image provider
    will always have to tell you somehow what are the
    dimensions  of the image, the pixel spacing, the pixel
    type, the number of components, and the byte order.
    If your image provider fails to do so, then it is time
    to find another image provider.

    This information will probable be given to you in an
    email, a piece of paper, a phone call, or even a napkin.
    Therefore, in practice, you always have the option of
    simply writinig this information down in the form of a
    MetaImage file. In this way you can use the default
    ImageFileReader<> in ITK for reading that MetaImage
    through the MetaImage header.

    For details on how to write a MetaImage Header please
    look at the ITK Data page

   Regards,
