swapDimension {oro.dicom}

R Documentation

Reslice Data Volume Using DICOM Header Fields

Description

The input data volume (assumed to be three-dimensional) is re-sliced so that each slice is in the axial plane. Orientation is preserved so that orthographic viewing is standardized.

Usage

swapDimension(img, dcm, digits = 2)

Arguments

`img`	Multidimensional array (assumed to be three-dimensional only).
`dcm`	DICOM header/image object associated with the multidimensional array.
`digits`	Number of significant digits used in testing `unique`-ness of values in DICOM header fields.

Value

Multidimensional array with (potentially) permuted dimensions because of the reslicing operation. An additional attribute “pixdim” is provided in order to facilitate conversion from DICOM to NIFTI/ANALYZE.
