[ITK] Multiple calls to GetSeriesUIDs()

[Fijoy Vadakkumpadan]

Thanks.

I looked through the ITK source code. Calls to GetSeriesUIDs() and
setDirectory()
are time-stamped. If the time-stamp of the latter is before that of the
former, no disk operation is done in the former. So the answer to my
question is no.
