=== Volumes ===
 
 
 
IJK refers to voxel index coordinates.
 
 
 
RAS refers to Right-Anterior-Superior subject-referenced coordinates.
 
 
 
Each volume includes a transformation to go from voxel indices (IJK) to world (RAS).  This is obtained with the vtkMRMLVolumeNode::GetRASToIJKMatrix(vtkMatrix4x4).
 
 
 
=== Models ===
 
 
 
Model vertices are expressed in millimeters, in RAS space.
 
 
 
=== Fiducials ===
 
 
 
Fiducial points are expressed in millimeters, in RAS space.
 
 
 
=== Transforms ===
 
 
 
All transforms at RAS to RAS transforms.
 
 
 
== Notes ==
 
 
 
* image data in a volume is laid out in memory in the same order as it is read from diskThat is, the "infamous VTK Y-flip" is ''not'' applied.
 
* the reader for each file type is required to provide the IJKToRAS mapping.
