No this is not currently done by the vtkDICOMImageReader
unfortunately. This is fairly easy to patch the reader to fill in the
vtkMedicalImageProperties with such information. But the reader would
have to be derived from vtkMedicalImageReader (which would be AFAIK
backward compatible).

This would not work when reading a Series but could be fun to
implemement for a single image.

Are you using VTK CVS ?
