[Insight-users] Orientation in images

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Raghavendra,

This functionality has just been refactored.

ITK images in their basic incarnation will not
manage orientation, however, a mechanism has
been anticipated to facilitate that classes
deriving from itk::Image could make use of
complex geometrical transformations.

This is used for managing ultrasound images
for example.

There is also an ongoing project for adding
a data dictionaire to images. This will allow
to carry information with the image at it
propagates through the data pipeline.  Information
about this project can be found in the ITK projects
page

http://caddlab.rad.unc.edu/itkProjects/

More specifically in

http://caddlab.rad.unc.edu/itkProjects/indexproject.php?id=27

You can joing the projects open forum and post your
comments & suggestions.



Please let us know if you have further questions.

Thanks

Luis
