[Insight-users] Some questions on DICOM writing

[Markus Weigert]

Hello @all,

I have some questions concerning DICOM, especially writing DICOM series.

I'm currently reading a serie of DICOM files and store them to a itkImage.

In the next step, I apply some filters to the image.
Finally, I want to write the result out to DICOM serie too.

My question is now:
What happens to the meta information when I write
out the itkImage?

Is the information (patient name, study date e.g.) also in the
serie which is written to disk, that means, is this information part of the itkImage
and will the features of the filtered image (resolution, spacing, etc) be written properly?

It's extremely important to me, that the original meta information <which does not
change (patient name, date, study, etc.)> is preserved, while image information
is changed due to resampling or transforming the image.

Could somebody please give me some advice how to solve this.
Do I need external libraries like GDCM???

Best regards,
Markus
