[vtkusers] MRI Tiff stacks

[Maneesh Yadav]

Hi Lisa,
I'm not sure if you can be of much help, but the 'tiff stack' is
a single file (?).  The data is from mouseatlas.caltech.edu, (you can
click an embryo and get the tiff stack from the bottom of the page, here
is an example:

http://mouseatlas.caltech.edu/Stacks_and_movies/13.5dpc-Stacks_and_movies/13.5dpc_NIH_stacks/Stack,Cor1750_50,256*256_NoZF

I've never heard of these stacks before, but apparently NIH Image can view
them...if anyone can suggest as to how to get this data into VTK that'd be
great...(it don't think it is quite as simple as a concatenated set of
TIFF's but it shouldn't be much more complicated than that)...
