Allen Brain Atlas in XTK?

Question

How can I render the Allen Brain Atlas (API documentation) in XTK? What format should I use?

Answer 1

I like to use c3d for volume format conversion. It supports NRRD files, which I believe XTK can read.

Aside: the Allen Mouse Brain Connectivity Atlas data volumes are served as NRRD files directly. The adult mouse gene expression atlas data volumes are still MHDs, though.

Answer 2

MHD format is not natively supported yet, but you can convert the MHD to NRRD or NII using tools such as Slicer4.
