[vtkusers] MRI Tiff stacks

[Lisa S. Avila]

Hello Maneesh,

I was able to open your file as a raw file in VolView (I had to rename it 
so that it wouldn't assume it was a tiff!). I think that is because it is a 
stack of uncompressed tiffs - it probably wouldn't work if it was 
compressed. If your data is uncompressed like this, you can simply use 
vtkImageReader with the right parameters.

Cool data - I can see eyes, a spine, little webbed feet... I've attached an 
image.

Lisa
