[ITK-users] Reading a DICOM file in SimpleITK and ITK (spacing error)

[Dženan Zukić]

Hi Mustafa,

since the offending .dcm is in folder "exports", I assume some tool's DICOM
export is broken. Spacing should never be 0. If spacing is not known, it
should be set to 1. ITK has a right to complain about this. Can you
re-export this file, and perhaps fiddle with export settings a bit?

Regards,
Dženan
