ctinfo

This utility can be used to rapidly query the header of CT-scanner output in various formats. Output is written to stdout in a format conducive to script processing. File formats supported include TXM files (".txm"), VGI files (".vgi" with an equivalently named ".vol" file), or TIFF stacks (specify one of the TIFF filenames and all equivalently sized TIFFs in the directory will be loaded as part of the stack).
