Yes, you haven't contributed a converter for it ;)
See "Getting Data Into ImageVis3D" for more information on how to do
that:

We do of course want to support every format that people in the
community utilize, but we live in a bubble of sorts and which formats
are `popular' isn't readily available. User-contributed converters are
*very* much welcome; part of the reason we wrote the above manual was
to facilitate that.
All that said, I'll add MetaImage to my todo list...
