vtkMINCImageReader

Section: Visualization Toolkit IO Classes

Usage

MINC is a NetCDF-based medical image file format that was developed at the Montreal Neurological Institute in 1992. This class will read a MINC file into VTK, rearranging the data to match the VTK x, y, and z dimensions, and optionally rescaling real-valued data to VTK_FLOAT if RescaleRealValuesOn() is set. If RescaleRealValues is off, then the data will be stored in its original data type and the GetRescaleSlope(), GetRescaleIntercept() method can be used to retrieve global rescaling parameters. If the original file had a time dimension, the SetTimeStep() method can be used to specify a time step to read. All of the original header information can be accessed though the GetImageAttributes() method.

To create an instance of class vtkMINCImageReader, simply invoke its constructor as follows

  obj = vtkMINCImageReader
