Several kind folks pointed out to me the existence of the
function DFSDgetslice.  I haven't tried it yet, however.

I guess there is a second half of my question.  Since I apparently
have to rewrite my code to use DFSDgetslice, is there an accepted,
efficient way to do this?  For example, the first thing I do is
calculate (estimate) the gradient function, which requires accessing
a voxel and all of it's immediate neighbors.  Can I read a slice that
is three voxels thick?  Any other basic ideas I'm missing?

Thanks,

dale
