[Insight-developers] RE: Siemens DICOM file

[Lorensen, William E (Research)]

Looks good here also. My screwup.

I think we should make the GDCM build unconditional. I mean take the UseGDCM
logic out and always build gdcm.

This will facilitate the replacement of DicomImageIO and eventually (in the
near future), DICOMImageIO2. I have experimented and verified that if I
sublass DicomImageIO from GDCMImageIO, that, to the user, there is no API
change and we get the GDCMImageIO as well as the factory. I print a warning
out in the constructor that DicomImageIO is really GDCMImageIO and that the
user should change to GDCMImageIO. I think we need a GDCMImageIOFactory
also.

Bill,

   I just finished rebuilding ITK and I ran a modified version of 
DicomImageReadWrite (attached to mail), to instantiate on 'signed short' 
pixel to read and write, and remove the explicit rescale filter from the 
example.

./DicomImageReadWrite /tmp/Image0200.dcm output.dcm bar.mhd rescale.dcm

and the mhd file is fine (thus the rescale has occur). Is it possible 
that you send me an example to reproduce the problem ?

Thanks
Mathieu
