[Insight-users] ZEISS Microscopy image file support

[qianc at ee.ethz.ch]

Dear list,
I have been working on the microscopy image processing recently. Now  
the images I mostly use are taken from a ZEISS 200m Microscope and an  
Axiovision software(professional image processing software coming  
together with the Microscope, every additional module costs thousands  
of dollars).

The image format for Axiovision is call "ZVI". Although the image  
could be saved (exported)as tiff...or other normal format, I am afraid  
the spatial information will lose. What I would like to do is taking  
the advantage of the ITK to process this image format(.zvi file)  
directly. Does anyone know if ITK supports this format? Or some other  
available plugin for ITK to support it? Any suggestion would be  
appreciated. Thanks!
Best,
Cheng Qian
