Hi Jim,

  I am guessing you are talking about a CT Image Storage DICOM object, right ?
  AFAIK Value #3 of Image Type is optional, so it should not be needed
(only the first 2 are required). As a side note there is no way for
the ITK ImageIO to detect that the image has not been modified
(resliced), so I do not believe we should keep the 'AXIAL' Image Type,
correct ?


2 cents,
