[Insight-users] Rewriting Dicom header entries

[Angela Wang]

I am trying to write two values into a DICOM header entry for my processed
image file.  This one tag does not write my values. I am able, however, to
change other DICOM header entries.  The tag is (0008,0008) for Image Iype
and takes type CS = code string.
The code looks like:

      ReaderType::DictionaryArrayRawPointer dictPointer =
                     reader -> GetMetaDataDictionaryArray();
      ReaderType::DictionaryRawPointer dict = (*dictPointer)[i];
      itk::MetaDataDictionary & dictionary= *dict;
      std::string tagkey, value;
      tagkey = "0008|0008";         // Image Type  vr = CS
      value = "ORIGINAL\\SECONDARY";
      itk::EncapsulateMetaData<std::string>(dictionary, tagkey, value);

Does anyone know how to make this work?
Thanks.
