<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Steve and all:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Do you have any idea to read a multi-frame DICOM file?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I guess that for a single 2D DICOM image reader, the length of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the block data which will be read in is determined by the </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>dimensions of the image. If I can find the place to modify</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the length, maybe I could use the 2D image reader to read </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>a multi-frame file. Do you know which file and where I can</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>find the assignation of the length? Thanks.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'm pretty sure you mean multi-frame. I just looked through the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>DICOM standard part 3 (<A HREF="http://medical.nema.org/dicom/2007/07_03pu.pdf" TARGET="_blank">http://medical.nema.org/dicom/2007/07_03pu.pdf</A>)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>and there is no mention of multi-layer.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Regards,</FONT>
