[Insight-users] Writing private tags to a DICOM file

[Martin Kavec]

Hi,

I did a small test by taking single DICOM image (coming from MR, Philips 
Achieva) read and wrote it back to a single DICOM image(using simplified
DicomImageReadWrite.cxx). This went fine, 
except that the output file is stripped of all the private tags. I can 
print the private tags using examples from the SoftwareGuide and 
Examples, however they are not transferred to the output. I also tried to 
pass them by default by calling itk::GDCMImageIO LoadPrivateTagsOn() and
writer->SetMetaDataDictionary( reader->GetMetaDataDictionary() ), yet the 
private tags are not there (I checked using OsiriX) and the file size is 
smaller. Is it possible to write the private tags?

Thanks,

Martin
