Replacing pixel/voxel value in images

You can replace the values of pixels or voxels in images by using the Replace pixel/voxel values command on the Utilities menu. Suppose, for example, that you have a set of images that contain not a number (NaN) values. To be able to use MIPAV algorithms on those images, you first need to replace those not a number values. The Replace pixel/voxel value command provides an easy way to replace those values or any pixel or voxel values.
To replace pixel or voxel value in images
1 Open the image whose pixels or voxels you want to change.
2 Select Utilities > Replace pixel/voxel values.
The Replace Pixel/Voxel Value dialog box ([MIPAV_Utilities.html#1184679 Figure 272]) opens.
