AVW_IMG_READ: read Analyze format data image (*.img)
avw = avw_img_read(fileprefix, orient)
file - a string, the filename without the .img extension
orient - read a specified orientation, integer values:
'', use header history orient field
0, transverse unflipped (LAS*)
1, coronal unflipped (LA*S)
2, sagittal unflipped (L*AS)
3, transverse flipped (LPS*)
4, coronal flipped (LA*I)
5, sagittal flipped (L*AI)
where * follows the slice dimension and letters indicate +XYZ
orientations (L left, R right, A anterior, P posterior,
I inferior, & S superior). The returned 3D matrix will
correspond with the default ANALYZE coordinate system, which
is Left-handed:
X-Y plane is Transverse
X-Z plane is Coronal
Y-Z plane is Sagittal
X axis runs from patient right (low X) to patient Left (high X)
Y axis runs from posterior (low Y) to Anterior (high Y)
Z axis runs from inferior (low Z) to Superior (high Z)
Some files may contain data in the 3-5 orientations, but this
is unlikely. For more information about orientation, see the
documentation at the end of this .m file. See also the
AVW_FLIP function for orthogonal reorientation.
Returned values:
avw.hdr - a struct with image data parameters.
avw.img - a 3D matrix of image data (double precision).
