[ITK-users] [ITK] Reading 4d image using SimpleITK

[Timothee Evain]

Hello,

I'm not an user of SimpleITK, but it seems that you can now build the library with an cmake option to support 4D images (since release ~0.9?).
If you are able to do so, you can then use the ExtractImageFilter to get your 3D/2D data : http://www.itk.org/SimpleITKDoxygen/html/classitk_1_1simple_1_1ExtractImageFilter.html

HTH,

Tim

Objet: [ITK] [ITK-users] Reading 4d image using SimpleITK

Hi ITK users,

I have more or less the same goal as Andriy had five years ago: I need to read a 4D image, and extract 2D slices from it to serve as figures in a paper. I was wondering if there was a quick way to break my 4D image down into 3D images using SimpleITK.

However, there are numerous compile assertions and other methods to ensure that we are only instantiating filters and objects as we expect to.

I will break it down into individual time frames, and load
frame-by-frame, no big deal.

Thank you.
