[Insight-users] Slice spacing of DICOM series

[Andrew Li]

Hi,

We use itk::ImageSeriesReader to read 3D MRI data set that is stored as
a (2D) DICOM series and then check the slice spacing in slice direction
as following:  
	...
	ReaderType::Pointer reader = ReaderType::New();
	...
	double sliceSpacingInSliceDirection =
(reader->GetOutput()->GetSpacing())[2]; 
	...

How slice spacing in slice direction is derived in
itk::ImageSeriesReader Class? It seems not from the tag: {0x0018,
0x0088} (spacing between slices).

Please let me know. Thanks.

-Andrew
