      ...and write it as a series of 2D DICOM slices :)


      BTW this is true in a more general manner.

#1. Read in Serie of 2D DICOM slices. Reorient+move origin. Write the 
image as serie of 2D images. Depending on the code the Orientation will 
either be from the reader or defaulted to 1,0,0,0,1,0 (Same goes for Origin)

#2. Read a 3D DICOM file with proper Orientation, and Origin. Write it 
as a Series of 2D DICOM files: you loose Orientation and Origin.

Basically the Factory instanciate a (N-1)D ImageIO which prevent us from 
getting information from dimension N.
