i need to work with itk images and numpy arrays, but the operations itk.GetImageFromArray and itk.GetArrayFromImage

e.g.:  
img = itk.GetImageFromArray(input\_img)

res\_img = itk.GetArrayFromImage(img)

are flipping and are changing the axes of my image. How can I revert the res\_img to the input\_img orientation and disposition?

Is your array in Fortran order or C order? I think that ITK’s conversion might not fully support one (Fortran, I think). Can you try changing that using numpy, before converting to ITK image?

Thanks a lot for the feedback.  
I solved my problem with: res\_img.CopyInformation(input\_img) method.
