Dear All,

Image orientation (Radiological/Neurological) is still a big problem. NifTI-1, IMHO (which may be wrong) actually adds to the confusion rather than saving us from it coz I have to worry about two things: (1) Whether software X flips the image and (2)whether software honour sform_code or pform_code. Is there any possibility that the image orientation is fixed to either radiological/neurological.

The reason is this means all software will be free of this problem once and for all. I don't have to check whether an image is flipped by XXX software, mricro need not tell me that it does not flip images etc. Moreover, this means we deal with the image orientation at one place, i.e. interface between scanner's DICOM server and nifTI conversion. This is the place where most imaging expertise in handling imaging data is.

Thanks
Cinly
