[Insight-users] DICOM volume problem

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Henkjan,

Thanks for the heads up.
This is simultaneously good news and bad news.

We haven't deal with this type of DICOM images
yet, and certainly will be interesting to
adapt the ITK reader (or create a new one) in
order to read those images.

Could you make one of such images available ?

You could avoid patient information issues
by acquiring an image from a phantom....

Having access to one or several of such images
will help us to adapt the reader.


Please let us know.


   Thanks


     Luis
