Dear all,
I would like to know if anybody knows if it exists
a IDL subroutine that can read medical images from
the Visible Human Project. I would like to read the
CT scan images (512 x 512, 16 bit, Header size=3416)
in order to extract the QCT informations.
(Quantitative Computed Tomography)
There is one image per file.
I need to create a text file for each slice (image)
where I would have the voxel positions in space, that
is, the coordinates of the center of "gravity" for
each voxel and the QCT number associated with them.
The text file would look like this:
----------------------------------
**************************************
xg | yg | QCT
voxel 1 |
voxel 2 |
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
voxel (512x512) |
**************************************
Any comment or help would be much appreciated.
Best regards.
Georges Limbert
