File extension

Hi. I downloaded the dataset and extracted them. I have a question regarding the file extension. The files's extension are "mha". Should I convert them to DICOM? If the answer is yes, which application is recommended? And if the answer is no, how can I open the iamges?

Thanks.

Hi, There is no need to convert the images to Dicom format. The mha format can be read by viewers such as itk-snap for example. To view the images with bounding boxes added on to them you could make a python script using SimpleITK to read them and plt.show() to display them. Best Regards, Keelin

Keelin,

Thank you for your comment. It was really helpful. Is there any way to convert these images to dcm?

Thanks, Paris.

Hi Paris, The SimpleITK library can write dcm, so you could, for example read in mha and write out dcm using that library if you want to do that. Best, Keelin
