Good morning!

I’m hoping to try using ShapeWorks as a means to investigate skull shapes in several different mouse phenotypes, and I can run the tutorials for ShapeWorks just fine, but I’m having trouble getting from my CT scans to an appropriate format.

What I would like to be able to do is go from 16 bit grayscale images generated from Scanco’s software, preprocessed in MATLAB, and then written out to the necessary format for ShapeWorksRun, but I can’t seem to get any mha or DICOM files with an mhd header to play nice. Are there any examples/documentation on what ShapeWroksRun is explicitly looking for or what header information must be there to run correctly? I’ve been looking at the ITK documentation and there are so many ways to do things that I’m worried I’m just not doing things in the expected way.

Thanks,

Dan
