Today in the MITK meeting we discussed whether MITK should generally support 3D(+t) images only. When loading a 2D(+t) image, it would be converted to a corresponding 3D(+t) image.
+ Simplify coding of filters
+ E.g. the segmentation bundle already require 3D(+t) images
+ MITK is already able to save a (stack of) 2D image file(s) based on a 3D image
The question is whether there is a major problem with this idea and what is the impact on our code?
