Thanks joachim, the reader in "3D IO" works, though it needed some fiddling: If anyone else needs to know though, the reader is a bit dated.
Newer images have headers that include the line 'Position = # # #' but the reader at the link below doesn't recognise this tag name 'position'. If you delete that line from the header file of an image it's fine. Also, the reader is case sensitive, which causes problems when the header refers to the corresponding raw file. For example, if the 3D image is held in 'myImage.raw', the header can't say 'ElementDataFile = myImage.RAW'
