[ITK] [ITK-users] itk Python: origin of DICOM slice does not change

Tue Sep 20 10:02:32 EDT 2016

Hi Fabio,

Also, if

  writer_output.SetImageIO(gdcmImageIO)

is called, and gdcmImageIO is being re-used, then gdcmImageIO will
re-use its MetaDataDictionary. So a new instance of GDCMImageIO
shoulrd be passed to avoid using the old MetaDataDictionary.

HTH,
Matt
