[Insight-users] using DICOM image orientation information

[karmonik]

Hi,

as far as I understand, the DICOM image format provides information regarding 
image orientation (axial, sagittal, coronal, oblique, image coordinates, image 
angle, ...).

Quite frequently we acquire MR DICOM image sets (i.e. volumes) in one session 
that each have different orientations.

Is there a way using ITK, VTK, ... (?) to display these volumes on top of each 
other correctly using the DICOM information regarding image orientation? 
If not, wouldn't it be a good feature to have?

Thanks !

Christof
