[Insight-developers] reading 3D tiff (/dcm pair Mevis)

[Rashindra Manniesing]

HI Mathieu,

Actually, the dcm file is used as separate and single header file (and the
latest gdcm version is able to read this, but not the version shipped with
itk); the tiff file is a 3D image (possibly 4D, with time unfolded in 3D),
which again is readable by the latest libtiff, but not with the current
version included with itk. Hence, my questions on updating these external
libraries. 

Best regards,
Rashindra

GDCM does support (to some extent) multi frames DICOM files. So simply
try to read your file as if it was a regular DICOM and that should do
it.
