microCT image volumes exceed 4.29gb. Is there a workaround for the 4.29gb limit?

"The pixel data attribute itself is type OB/OW. The length of the attribute is stored as an 32-bit unsigned int. So, an uncompressed image can have a maximum size of 2^32 -2. (2^32 -1 represents "undefined length", so it isn't allowed for pixel data)."
