MriImage-class: Class "MriImage"

Description

This class represents an MRI image. An object of this class is made up of some voxel data, stored as a sparse or dense numeric array, and an MriImageMetadata object, which stores extra information about the image, such as the file it was read from, the voxel dimensions, and so on. Since the class inherits from MriImageMetadata, any object can be treated as an object of that class where needed. The group generic functions Math, Ops and Summary are defined for this class, as are methods for coercing to and from a standard Rarray.

Extends

Class "MriImageMetadata", directly. Class "SerialisableObject", by class "MriImageMetadata", distance 2.

All reference classes extend and inherit methods from "envRefClass".
