If two files are used, then they can be passed // by using SetFileNames() instead of SetFileName(). Files ending in .gz // are decompressed on-the-fly while they are being read. Files with // complex numbers or vector dimensions will be read as multi-component // images. If a NIFTI file has a time dimension, then by default only the // first image in the time series will be read, but the TimeAsVector // flag can be set to read the time steps as vector components. Files in // Analyze 7.5 format are also supported by this reader. // .SECTION Thanks // This class was contributed to VTK by the Calgary Image Processing and // Analysis Centre (CIPAC). // .SECTION See Also // vtkNIFTIImageWriter, vtkNIFTIImageHeader #ifndef vtkNIFTIImageReader_h #define vtkNIFTIImageReader_h #include "vtkIOImageModule.h" // For export macro #include "vtkImageReader2.h" class vtkNIFTIImageHeader; class vtkMatrix4x4; struct nifti_1_header; //---------------------------------------------------------------------------- class VTKIOIMAGE_EXPORT vtkNIFTIImageReader : public vtkImageReader2 { public: // Description: // Static method for construction. static vtkNIFTIImageReader *New(); vtkTypeMacro(vtkNIFTIImageReader, vtkImageReader2); // Description: // Print information about this object. virtual void PrintSelf(ostream& os, vtkIndent indent); // Description: // Valid extensions for this file type. virtual const char* GetFileExtensions() { return ".nii .nii.gz .img .img.gz .hdr .hdr.gz"; } // Description: // Return a descriptive name that might be useful in a GUI. virtual const char* GetDescriptiveName() { return "NIfTI"; } // Description: // Return true if this reader can read the given file. int CanReadFile(const char* filename); // Description: // Read the time dimension as scalar components (default: Off). // If this is on, then each time point will be stored as a component in // the image data.

VTK requires // the slices to be ordered so that the voxel indices (I,J,K) provide a // right-handed coordinate system, whereas NIFTI does not. Instead, // NIFTI stores a factor called "qfac" in the header to signal when the // (i,j,k) indices form a left-handed coordinate system.

The qform matrix will // always have a positive determinant. The offset that is stored in the // matrix gives the position of the first pixel in the first slice of the // VTK image data. Note that if QFac is -1, then the first slice in the // VTK image data is the last slice in the NIFTI file, and the Z offset // will automatically be adjusted to compensate for this. vtkMatrix4x4 *GetQFormMatrix() { return this->QFormMatrix; } // Description: // Get a matrix that gives the "sform" orientation and offset for the data. // If no sform matrix was stored in the file, the return value is NULL. // Like the qform matrix, this matrix will transform VTK data coordinates // into a NIFTI coordinate system. Unlike the qform matrix, the sform // matrix can contain scaling information and can even (rarely) have // a negative determinant, i.e. a flip. This matrix is modified slightly // as compared to the sform matrix stored in the NIFTI header: the pixdim // pixel spacing is factored out. Also, if QFac is -1, then the VTK slices // are in reverse order as compared to the NIFTI slices, hence as compared // to the sform matrix stored in the header, the third column of this matrix // is multiplied by -1 and the Z offset is shifted to compensate for the // fact that the last slice has become the first. vtkMatrix4x4 *GetSFormMatrix() { return this->SFormMatrix; } // Description: // Get the raw header information from the NIfTI file. vtkNIFTIImageHeader *GetNIFTIHeader(); protected: vtkNIFTIImageReader(); ~vtkNIFTIImageReader(); // Description: // Read the header information. virtual int RequestInformation( vtkInformation* request, vtkInformationVector** inputVector, vtkInformationVector* outputVector); // Description: // Read the voxel data. virtual int RequestData( vtkInformation* request, vtkInformationVector** inputVector, vtkInformationVector* outputVector); // Description: // Do a case-insensitive check for the given extension. // The check will succeed if the filename ends in ".gz", and if the // extension matches after removing the ".gz". static bool CheckExtension(const char *fname, const char *ext); // Description: // Make a new filename by replacing extension "ext1" with "ext2". // The extensions must include a period, must be three characters // long, and must be lower case.
