[Insight-users] Read mnc files

[Vincent Magnotta]

Prename,

It is possible to do this in ITK. It may be easier however to get 
started by running the mincextract program on the slices to build up a 
raw volume of data. You could then create a meta image header for the 
volume.

To do this directly in ITK you would want to use something like the 
PasteImageFilter.
