Import data from .cfl (BART: MRI image reconstruction)

[jaykumar16]

Hey, I am trying to implement the custom data load. May you please help me with this? I have the files that can read the data from .cfl and I want to implement this in monai.data.Dataset.

Which files do I need to edit to read data from .cfl files?
if you tell me how to do this I can do this myself to save your time.

Thank you for your help.

Here I am attaching the CFL read and write file,

Hi @jaykumar16 ,

Thanks for your interest and contribution here.
I think you can develop a new image reader for the CFL files, refer to:
/~https://github.com/Project-MONAI/MONAI/blob/dev/monai/data/image_reader.py#L358
And then people can use it as the reader arg of the LoadImage transform:

What do you think?

Thanks.

I was able to write a function to read cfl files is there a process to merge this with monai GitHub.
