Description

Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe.

NiftiDataLoader operator currently outputs a np.ndarray. Need to extend this to wrap in an Image object with correct meta/header information to more easily work with existing MAP workflows.

Describe the solution you'd like

NiftiDataLoader with Image object as IN_MEMORY output.

Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative would be to use the original DICOM images and take advantage of existing operators, but this is just not possible in some cases where Nifti files are the only form of data.

Additional context

An enhancement like this could enable a workflow such as processing a large batch (10,000+) of Nifti images for rapid inference.
