Proposal to add orientation to vtkImageData- Feedback Wanted

I don’t know what you mean by native scanner space. DICOM uses LPS for defining image position and orientation. Probably each device has some internal coordinate systems but normally you don’t have access to that from outside.

The native header info 1-to-1 (the voxel to world matrix) without any further transformation, which usually correspond to a space defined by manufacturer. It is always patient space, but what you refer is a standart patient space LPS/RAS

To be more precise, looking at vtkNIFTIImageReader.cxx line#745 you can see that the raw SFormMatrix of a nifti file is what i want but it is that with further tranformation what I get when I call the method: GetSFormMatrix

I see now it is due to some further misconception from the nifti standard and not trying to put it in LPS/RAS space , so maybe my bad, but still my point is valid that I cannot get the raw voxel to world-scanner space
