I don't know whether this format is supported.
If not, use vtkVolume16Reader, and set its
parameters as appropriate for the image format.
If you don't know anything about the format,
guess.  E.g., assume the image is 512x512, and
either 8 or 16 bits, compute the size of the
pixel data, and subtract from total file size
to arrive at header size, etc.
