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.
