Export DB

Class: NodeExportDB

Node Icon

Save an image to a selected database. Internally, the image will be saved using the mhd file format with associated metadata. Due to current 32 bit limitations, the maximum size for one image in the database is 4 GB. This limitation can be circumvented in 4D images by splitting the data into multiple images with a specific number of frames, which can be set in the node settings.

Inputs

Images

Split Image

Split Image by Frames Boolean

Split one 4D image into multiple 4D images with a specific number of frames per image. This option can be used to save datasets larger than 4GB in the database.

Block Size (frames) Integer

Number of frames per 4D image

Block Naming Text

How to name the images in the database. Four variable placeholder can be used:
$n: image name
$c: block number
$sf: start frame
$ef: end frame
Default string: $n Block $c Frames $sf-$ef

Block Count Offset Integer

Set offset for the block counter ($c). By default, the offset is 0 and the counter starts at 1.

Frame Count Offset Integer

Set offset for the frame counter. By default, the offset is 0 and the counter starts at 1.
