Features:

• Supports loading and saving of 2D, 3D and 4D Nifti and NRRD images
  • (Saving 4D images is currently not supported due to a SimpleITK bug)
• Simple access to image array
• Simple access to image metadata
  • Affine
  • Spacing
  • Origin
  • Direction

Example

from medvol import MedVol

# Load NIFTI image
image = MedVol("path/to/image.nifti")

# Print some metadata
print("Spacing: ", image.spacing)
print("Affine: ", image.affine)
print("Rotation: ", image.rotation)
print("Header: ", image.header)

# Access and modify the image array
arr = image.array
arr[0, 0, 0] = 1

# Create a new image with the new array, a new spacing, but copy all remaining metadata
new_image = MedVol(arr, spacing=[2, 2, 2], copy=image)

# Save the new image as NRRD
new_image.save("path/to/new_image.nrrd")
