[Insight-users] convert raw to dicom (create MetaImage header)

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Alex,


The simplest way to proceed, will be for you to
create a MetaImage header for your raw data.

The following page describes how to to this:
http://www.itk.org/HTML/Data.htm

The MetaImage header is an ASCII text file with
extension .mhd that will describe your raw file.

Its content should look like:

     NDims = 3
     DimSize = 181 217 181
     ElementType = MET_UCHAR
     ElementSpacing = 1.2   1.2   3.4
     Offset = 13.4  27.5  43.2
     ElementByteOrderMSB = False
     ElementDataFile = myFile.raw


Where, of course, you must replace the numerical data
with the correct values for your image.

Once you create this header, you must put it in the
same directory where your .raw file is, and then
you can pass the ".mhd" file as the input file
to the DicomSeriesReadImageWrite2.cxx example.


    Regards,


       Luis
