volume image data in the XTK toolkit

Question

I have read here:

Is there a way to use a Custom cross-sectional slicer of 3d image data?

... that the nrrd parser stores the image data as a 3D array. I want to be able to access this array in my scripts. How can this be done? I would like to use this data to do image statistics, and subsets to do region of interest statistics. I believe the data is a private variable which is just used by the slice function to create the volume slices, is that correct? If so how can I save it for later use as a public variable, or as a property of the volume object?

Please explain as simply as possible how to proceed as I am quite a novice at javascript.

Many thanks,

We didn't store the array for all volume parsers yet to slim down the memory usage. This can certainly be added since the infrastructure is there under the hood.
