[Insight-users] get the maximum pixel value using GetPixel() for 3D image

This is why the image iterator is so valuable. They handle the grunt work
for you and are so easy to use. You're code would be simplified to something
like:

itk::ImageRegionIterator<ImageType> it(image,
image->GetLargestPossibleRegion());
for(it.GoToBegin(); !it.IsAtEnd(); ++it)
  {
  if(it.Value() > max)
    max = it.Value();
  }

Anyway, back to your code. The below looks unusual and unnecessary. Why are
you allocating image after assigning it to the reader output?
  start[0] =   0;  // first index on X
  start[1] =   0;  // first index on Y
  start[2] =   0;  // first index on Z

  InputImageType::RegionType region;
  region.SetSize( size );
  region.SetIndex( start );

  // Pixel data is allocated
  image->SetRegions( region );
  image->Allocate();
