Saving and printing images
This section explains how to save images to the same format (as when opened) or in a different format. It also shows how to print images. In addition, it explains how to save an image as a TIFF file.
Saving images to the same format
To save an image file in the same format (as when opened)
1 Do one of the following in the MIPAV window:
Note: If you prefer for MIPAV to use the style of Open and Save dialog boxes that are used by the operating system (e.g., Microsoft Windows, Unix, or Apple) on your computer, read the section on "Using platform-specific Open and Save dialog boxes".
Capturing images as TIFF(RGB) files
MIPAV allows you to capture entire images or portions of images as RGB TIFF files.
Figure 42. Capturing images or image regions
To display the region in a separate window rather than save it, select Display in Window Instead of Save. The selected region appears in a separate window.
To display the image in a separate window rather than save it, select Display in Window Instead of Save. The entire image appears in a separate window.
Saving images as
MIPAV uses the file extension to save image into various formats. Thus, saving an image with the extension of TIFF causes the image to be saved as a TIFF image. Saving an image with the extension of IMG causes the image to be saved as an Analyze image. See Table 1 for file extensions supported by MIPAV.
To save images as RGB TIFF files
2 Type the name of the image in File name. Make sure you add .tiff as the extension.
3 Click Save. MIPAV saves the file as a TIFF file under the name you specified.
To save images to MINC format
1 Select File > Save As.The Save Image as dialog box appears. See Figure 41.
2 Type the name of the file in File name. Make sure you add .mnc as the extension
3 The Attributes to Save dialog box appears. See Figure 44.
4 Complete the text boxes with the appropriate information. Note that the x, y, and z values differ from DICOM.
5 Click Save. MIPAV saves the image to MINC format.
Image orientation | Specify the image orientation here if need. Note that, often the proper value is already entered in the dialog box. Then use the appropriate list boxes to specify the X, Y and Z axis orientation. L/R Start - TBD L/R Space - TBD P/A Start - TBD P/A Space - TBD I/S Start - TBD I/S Space - TBD |
|
OK | Saves the selected image based on your choices in this dialog box. | |
Cancel | Disregards changes you made in this dialog box and closes the dialog box. |
Saving images to XML format
Saving images to another format or renaming images
To save images to format different from the original file
1 Select File > Save as.The Save Image as dialog box appears (Figure 45).
2 Type the new name in File name. To save the file in a different format, change the file extension. A list of extensions appears in Table 1, Appendix C.
3 Click Save. MIPAV saves the file under the name and extension you specified.
To rename images
1 Select File > Save as. The Save Image as dialog appears (Figure 45).
2 Type the new name in File name. Either keep the extension already specified or change it to another file type. A list of extensions appears in Appendix C: Table 1.
3 Click Save. MIPAV saves the file under the name and extension you specified.

Printing Images
MIPAV offers the following printing command File > Capture and Print Image. This command calls the Print dialog box. Using this dialog you can set up a printer (to do it press the Properties button) or a file for printing (using the Print to File option), select the print copies and print range (all pages, current page, or selected pages).
To print an image with its current options:
Choose File > Capture and Print Image, and click OK.
To set printer and page setup options:
1 Choose File > Capture and Print Image.
2 Select an installed printer from the pop-up list at the top of the dialog box.
3 Set additional options, such as paper size and layout, as desired. The available options depend on your printer, print drivers, and operating system.
