[Insight-users] about the DicomImageIO

[Yixun Liu]

Hi ITKusers,

         I intend to use the itkImageSeriesReader combined with the itkDicomImageIO to read DICOM series. The spacing obtained by the itkDicomImageIO is 0.9735x0.9735x1. However, when I use the tool Dicom2 to read the tag of the DICOM file, I find the spacing between the slices is 3.000000 which is shown below.


          Echo Number(s) (0018,0086)         1-n       IS [1]
 Magnetic Field Strength (0018,0087)     1          DS [15000]
  Spacing Between Slices (0018,0088)   1         DS [3.000000]
       Echo Train Length (0018,0091)         1        IS [0]
        Percent Sampling (0018,0093)         1       DS [100.000000] 

Why the itkImageIO can not read the correct spacing between the slices?

Thanks a lot

Regards,

Yixun Liu
