RAWD format

The RAWD file format is defined as follows:

    MAGIC NUMBER (int32): 732174000 in decimal, used to detect YRT-PET file type
    Number of dimensions D (int32)
    Dimension 0 (int64)
    ...
    Dimension D - 1 (int64)
    Data 0
    ...

Notes:

  • The data format is arbitrary and must be known when reading a data file. For instance, images are stored in float32.

  • The dimensions are ordered with the contiguous dimension last (e.g. Z, Y, X following usual ā€˜C’ conventions).

  • Just like all binary formats in YRT-PET, the numbers are stored in little-endian.
