[Insight-users] Basic Read/Write of DICOM Image - Wrong Metadata

[Mathieu Malaterre]

All 3 files have the correct Pixel Spacing:

$ dcmdump im100.dcm rescaledWithMetadata.dcm directSave.dcm | grep "0028,0030"
(0028,0030) DS [0.267578\0.267578]                      #  18, 2 PixelSpacing
(0028,0030) DS [0.267578\0.267578]                      #  18, 2 PixelSpacing
(0028,0030) DS [0.267578\0.267578]                      #  18, 2 PixelSpacing

All files are correct IMHO.
