[Insight-users] bad free() reading Signa images

[Neil Weisenfeld]

Hi all,

I'm trying to read some Signa 4.x images using the GE4ImageIO and this 
seems to result in:

*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000002a98ab1010 ***

which is coming from the destruction of itkImportImageContainer.


An e-mail that someone sent to this list in January about reading Signa 
5.x images yielded the response that the Insight Applications program 
ConvertBetweenFileFormats does this, however it seems to me that 
ConvertBetweenFileFormats uses GDCM to read DICOM series images, but not 
Signa(?)

Furthermore, the tests included for GE4ImageIO only test reading of a 
single slice, not a series, so I'm wondering if there is actually a bug.

Here's the code excerpt.  ***NOTE: I've tried this both via factory 
traversal and by specifying a GE4ImageIO "manually" and both produce the 
same results.

I'd appreciate any suggestions and apologise if I did something incredibly 
stupid.



Regards,
Neil
