Leila,

	If you follow that exact same thread, you'll see that Bill also agree 
on the fact that this is wrong. Gordon Kindlmann pointed out in the 
DICOM reference that the Direction Cosines should *not* be applied to 
the origin.

	For more info, see PS3.3. C.7.6.2.1.1 Image Position and Image 
Orientation. (~p275 in 2004 edition).

This I don't know.
