I haven't noticed one in class hierarchy. I suspect that if it's not
implemented via existing specialist classes, you will have to read
header/data, etc. via parent class vtkImageReader or vtkImageReader2.
A new subclass or specialized detection via an existing class sounds like
the way to go.

'vtk auto detect file type' on google did not come up with anything too
directly related.
