ImagingModality()

stir::ImagingModality::ImagingModality ( const std::string &  modality_string_v )

inlineexplicit

Construct from string, set enum accordingly.

The argument is first stripped of white-space and converted to lower-case. Then the following are supported:

• PT: "pt" or "pet"
• NM: "nm" or "nucmed" or "spect"
• MR: "mr" or "mri"
• CT: "ct" or "cat"
• US: ""us" or "ultrasound" - \c Optical: "optical"
