Marcelus,

	- First I suggest you read this:

http://public . kitware . com/cgi-bin/vtkfaq?req=show&file=faq01 . 010 . htp
(there is even a french translation).

	- Second, please keep in mind, that there is a time shift among ITK 
users. Believe it or not some people are still sleeping ;)

	- Third, we say 'million' in correct english.

	- Fourth, there are lots of different ways to do it:

	* Get the field 0x0018,0x0088 from the first dicom image (if it exist). 
It will give you the: 'Spacing between slices' (see Dicom v3 handbook 
for more info).

	* Get the field 0x0018,0x0050 .... It will give you the 'Slice thickness'.

	* Or Jolinda Smith gave me another approach, which is to use the 'Image 
Position Patient' and the 'Image Orientation Patient' to calculate the 
euclidean magnitude between two slices. BTW, she quickly answers me, 
without having to pay her anything.

Thanks for your attention,
Mathieu
