NAME
stream_pixels - Stream pixel data from one or more images to Standard Output.
SYNOPSIS
stream_pixels ImagePaths
DESCRIPTION
This tool reads one or more images and writes all their pixels to standard output in binary form. Optionally, each image can be reoriented to a specified anatomical orientation and/or converted to a different data type. This is useful for piping image data through a pipeline, e.g., the Camino DTI toolkit.
