2. Understanding Your Data
Method used to determine basic image parameters
If you just want some basic information about an image, you can either choose (File | Load) or (File | Import ) as discussed in Step 1 to view your image in any of the BioImageSuite Viewers.
- Once and image is loaded into a BioImageSuite Viewer, you can then choose (File | Image Header Editor). A new window will appear with many image parameters discussed below and seen in Figure 2.
- Dimension Tab (You can determine your Field Of View by multiplying the Image Dimensions by the Voxel Dimensions)
- A. Image Dimensions:
- x, y, z: all given in number of voxels.
- t: given in number of frames (in functional data t will be the number of images per slice).
- B. Voxel Dimensions:
- x, y, z: all given in mm.
- t: given in seconds.
- C. Image Type:
- Data Type: Unsigned Char, Char, Unsigned Short, Short, Unsigned Int, Int, Float, Double.
- Bits/pixel
