Analyze 7.5 Medical Image .HDR, .IMG Files

 

The Analyze 7.5 Medical Image filter imports and exports Analyze 7.5 medical image data sets as uniform lattices.

 

File Description

Analyze 7.5 Medical Image .HDR, .IMG files allow medical images (such as MRI's) to be displayed. An ANALYZE image database consists of at least two files; an image file .IMG and a header file .HDR. The files have the same name being distinguished by the extensions.

 

Analyze 7.5 format can contain multiple volumes (i.e., time points), each volume with multiple slices (i.e., Z dimensions), each slice with X and Y dimensions and each pixel (i.e., node) with possible multiple components. Each volume should have the same X, Y and Z dimension and component info.

 

File Format

The format of the image file is simple and typically contains uncompressed pixel data for the images. The header file typically describes the dimensions and history of the pixel data. The header structure consists of three substructures; the header_key describes the header, the image_dimension describes the image sizes, and the data_history is optional.

 

The header format is flexible and can be extended for new user-defined data types. The essential structures of the header are the header_key and the image_dimension. The data_history substructure is not required, but the orient field is used to indicate individual slice orientation.
