Hi Brandon,

Please look at the following FAQ entry in the ITK Wiki:

http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK_FAQ#What_3D_file_formats_can_ITK_import_and_export.3F


You may want to use one of the following file formats:

     * MetaImage (extension .mha)
     * VTK       (extension .vtk)
     * Analyze   (extension .hdr)



Regards,


    Luis
