Image Load Dialog

This dialog is used to load, compress, uncompress, and delete images. Click on the image above to display the dialog actual size. Click on any of the items below for detailed instructions.
Note
Images that are loaded into eigentool should have specific required elements. The Dicom Header dialog can be used to view the elements that were determined from the image file. Images from medical scanners (MRI, CT, etc) generally have this information, but images created using a photo, film, or other non-medical scanner probably do not.
Most of the settings for the Image Load Dialog can be set through a resource file that is loaded at the start of the program.
