Well, I know that ITK can read Analyse format. So what I would suggest 
is use ITK to convert Analyse to UNC meta image data. Then you just need
vtkMetaImageReader to read it back in VTK/ParaView.

Well I guess VTK legacy format is pretty close to a simple ascii data 
set. The only problem is that ParaView write the file in binary. So you 
might need a simple VTK script to do the conversion.

ParaView might not be the best tool for ImageData, did you try VolView 
(http://www.kitware.com/products/volview.html).
