[ITK-users] sanity check, please

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Tammy,

Yes, the code looks good and sane :-).

Internally, your itk::ImageFileReader will use an itk::TIFFImageIO.
After reading the images, the instance of the itk::ImageIO used can be
obtained with the reader via [1]

  itk::ImageIOBase::Pointer imageIO = reader->GetImageIO();
  std::cout << imageIO << std::endl;

Hope this helps,
Matt
