FileSaveAs

Path

[File|Open] or [File|Save] or [File|Save As]

Usage

For opening (= reading) a file, you must select the header in case the format has separate files for header and image. The program will try to detect the format. If the format was not found, then DICOM will be used (in order to read files without MetaHeader signature) unless you specified another read fallback format (see Options|MedCon). As a last resort you can always try the [Open Raw] utility ...

For saving (= writing) a file or the extracted images, you have a choice between the supported formats. Saving to RAW binary (resp. ASCII) simply writes the image arrays in one file without any header and with the original pixeltype in hostendian format (resp. ASCII).
