Thank you very much for pointing out the examples.<BR>
<BR>
I cleaned up my dicom folder to make sure that only one series in one directory.<BR>
Thus, I won't get self into the trouble to sort out the series.<BR>
<BR>
But I am sure there will be a way to by-pass the scout.<BR>

I've only tried the DICOM reader once and I and the DICOM reader got<BR>
very confused by two related images the were in the same directory.<BR>
<BR>
I found the example ITK/Examples/IO/DicomSeriesReadPrintTags.cxx very<BR>
helpful. There should be a tag that is different between the scout and<BR>
the real volume.<BR>
<BR>
As I recall, there's also a comment in one of the DicomSeriesRead*.cxx<BR>
files in the same example directory that says how to tell the reader to<BR>
distinguish the scout and the volume.<BR>
