So, have we all agreed that the generic image reading code should go<br>
somewhere other than NIPY, with tentative plan for inclusion in scipy<br>
down the line?</blockquote><div><br>Sounds like a good plan. Just a couple of quick questions. <br><br>1. Does this generic image reading code read any volume-based medical image format?<br>2. Does this generic image reading code only read medical image formats?<br>
<br>import somepackage<br><br>(data1,meta1) = somepackage.load('foo.nii') # nifti <br>(data2,meta2) = somepackage.load('bar.dcm') # dicom<br>(data3,meta3) = somepackage.load('zip.img') # analyze<br>
<br>or 3. Can it also read other image formats:<br><br>(data4,meta4) = somepackage.load('help.tif') # common img formats<br><br>

Good names for this package? </blockquote><div><br>If the answer to the questions 1, 2 and 3 are Yes, perhaps the package should be called<br><br>blah.io.volimagereader<br><br>If the answer to only questions 1 and 2 are yes perhaps the package should be called<br>
