[Insight-users] Problems reading 2D analyze files

[Karthik Krishnan]

Thanks for the report I ran into the same problem too and I've committed 
a fix in CVS.

Looks like there are others who ran into the same problem

Hans: I have a question about the code:

Lines 1208-15 of itkAnalyseImageIO.cxx

  //DEBUG--HACK It seems that analyze 7.5 requires 4 dimensions.
  this->m_hdr.dime.dim[0]= 4;
  for( dim=this->GetNumberOfDimensions();(int)dim < this->m_hdr.dime.dim[0];
       dim++ )
    {
    //NOTE: Analyze dim[0] are the number of dims, and dim[1..7] are the 
actual dims.
    this->m_hdr.dime.dim[dim+1]  = 1; //Hardcoded to be 1;
    }
 
I looked at the Analyse75.pdf document 
http://www.mayo.edu/bir/PDF/ANALYZE75.pdf and although the example 
mentions:

<snip>
  Comments:

  dim[0]: Number of dimensions in database; usually 4

  And in the code:  
    hrd.dime.dim[0] = 4; /* all Analyse images are taken as 4 dimensional */
</snip>

My interpretation is that the sample program, (which is a minimal 
example) assumes the images are 4 dimensional and this is not an 
interpretation of the header. Analyze allows images upto 7 dimensions.

ImageJ could read the analyze images fine both with the hack and without 
the hack.

Thanks
