[ITK] [ITK-users] ResampleDICOM and Assertion failed: (slope == (int)slope)

Wed Sep 3 13:58:53 EDT 2014

Matt,

Can you comment on the efforts to update GDCM to a newer version?  The
version of GDCM in ITK is very much out of date.

Hi Nick,

A reasonable way move forward;

1) A patch could be made to ITK's internal GDCM to support non-integer
slope's.
2) This patch could then be submitted to upstream GDCM.

Thanks,
Matt
