<div><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Thanks very much for your help. I now fix this problem by using itkJoinSeriesImageFilter. This class could elevate a series of 3D volumes (x,y,z)*t into 4D level (x,y,z, t). Though I am not sure this is the best way
for ITK to do so, at least it is the best solution I could find for now and hope this could help if anyone would work on 4D series using ITK in future. Here is part of my code:</font></div>

<div>Hi Lifan, <br>
</div>
here some code that i past in the python interpreter of 3dslicer based on vtk.<br>
<br>
_First download slicer and load multi image module.<br>
</div>
_Import your serie with the dicom importer.<br>
</div>
_Go into the multivolume support/multivolume explorer<br>
</div>
_Enable frame copying or something similar.<br>
<div>
<div>
<div>Now you have two serie (module data to see/rename them)<br>
</div>
<div>1 multiframe serie<br>
</div>
<div>1 image that will be used as reference to extract the 3d + t image<br>
</div>
<div>_Copy/paste the following line in the python interpreter of 3dslicer.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div><br>
from __main__ import vtk, qt, ctk, slicer<br>
from math import *<br>
import numpy as np<br>
from vtk.util import numpy_support<br>
import SimpleITK as sitk<br>
import sitkUtils as su<br>
import math<br>
<br>
def convert4Dto3D(multi,reference):<br>
multiNode=slicer.util.getNode(multi)<br>
refNode=slicer.util.getNode(reference)<br>
multiImage=multiNode.GetImageData()<br>
N=multiNode.GetNumberOfFrames()<br>
for i in range (N): #extract image<br>
im=vtk.vtkImageExtractComponents()<br>
im.SetInputData(multiImage)<br>
im.SetComponents(i)<br>
im.Update()<br>
frame=slicer.modules.volumes.logic().CloneVolume(slicer.mrmlScene,refNode,'frame_'+str(i))<br>
frame.SetAndObserveImageData(im.GetOutput())<br>
<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>_then type:<br>
convert4Dto3D(multi,reference)<br>
</div>
<div>changing the name of multi and reference by the corresponding name of your data<br>
</div>
<div>_it will extract the image under the name frame0, frame1...<br>
</div>
<div>_save them <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Hope that help,<br>

<div><font size="3">I have tried this code and the reader worked well. However I got a [x,y,z*t, 1] data, but not [x, y, z, t] data. I understand the problem may caused by nameGenerator, but I use SetUseSeriesDetails and AddSeriesRestriction("0008|0021")(aquisition
time)which are implied by documents to handle 4d images.I have also tried several methods but all not work. I wonder whether ITK have an original method to handle 4d images.</font></div>
