Extract $bitmap file from NTFS Image


Does anyone know of any software that can extract the $bitmap file from NTFS images?

Or does anyone know of any site that documents NTFS enough so that I can code this myself?

(I want to read the $bitmap so I can identify what clusters are not in use, so they can be removed from the images.)
