[Insight-users] how to read multilayer DICOM

Steve and all:

Do you have any idea to read a multi-frame DICOM file?

I guess that for a single 2D DICOM image reader, the length of
the block data which will be read in is determined by the 
dimensions of the image. If I can find the place to modify
the length, maybe I could use the 2D image reader to read 
a multi-frame file. Do you know which file and where I can
find the assignation of the length? Thanks.

Hi,

I'm pretty sure you mean multi-frame.  I just looked through the
DICOM standard part 3 (http://medical.nema.org/dicom/2007/07_03pu.pdf)
and there is no mention of multi-layer.

Regards,
