I have another related question regarding DICOM reading. I am reading
a DICOM volume data from a single file. I do not understand why the DICOM
reader shows the Z-spacing to be negative. Is it normal? But atleast
the results are not. A negative value for spacing is making all the
computations wrong.

Ranjan,
If you have a chance, could you try again with ITK CVS. I removed
something that has been discussed for a while about this issue. I
believe this would solve your problem.
Thanks
