I have a radiograph .img file without the header file. However, the researchers who have published the file have given this information about it
High resolution (2048 x 2048 matrix size, 0.175mm pixel size)
Wide density range (12bit, 4096 gray scale)
Universal image format (no header, big-endian raw data)
Using this information, I tried fread command in Matlab to read the image into Matlab.
fid = fopen('image.img','r','B');
oneSlice = fread(fid, [2048 2048], '*uint8','B');
imshow(oneSlice)
However the resulting image is coming up as incorrect. Is there something that I am doing wrong ? Could someone suggest any different method to read this image file ?
