[Insight-users] File formats that preserve image metadata

[Zachary Pincus]

Hello,

Which file formats that ITK can write support the full complement of  
basic ITK image metadata (index, spacing, origin)?

I had thought that MHA/MHD images did, but (after some painful  
debugging) I realized that my problem was that MHA images did not  
seem to be preserving the image origin.

Any suggestions for how I should save intermediate steps in image  
processing routines which depend on the index/spacing/origin metadata  
would be appreciated.
