Hi,
I have been fighting with some MINC to nifti converison for the last
few days and been trying to understand the issues in using
"neurological" formatted data in FSL.
I noticed that this list often refers to data as stored radiologically
or neurologically - is this really an appropiate way of putting it?
As I see it, the pathway from data to screen is this:
1) Data is transformed into world (mm) space using specified transform
2) The world space is transformed to display using some convention of
viewing world space be it radiological or neurological. (Whether left
maps to left or to right on the screen)
As such, radiological or neurological is simply a way world space is
viewed, in principle, it has nothing to do with the way data is stored
in the file. If 1) and 2) are mixed together, eg. by a program that
reads from file directly to the display in a way that depends on the
file data order then data storage is no longer independent of display.
Is this view correct I have I misunderstood something?
I hope to not further add to any confusion but the term
"radiologically stored" confuses me.
Regards
Soren
