About MIPAV
Supported Formats
MIPAV supports read/write access in a number of different file-formats, and can read still others. There are some MIPAV-only features (for example, allowing a user to recover a particular volumes of interest), MIPAV can save and later restore important data. Not only does MIPAV support a number of medical image data formats, it also supports some general purpose formats -- very helpful when making presentations!
