[Insight-users] Reading DICOM time series study

[Martin Kavec]

Mathieu,

thanks for your opinion. However, the question is not "which tags to use to 
sort correctly a DICOM time series", but rather that ITK's DICOM I/O probably 
disregards this information and creates a 3D image instead of 4D. 
:)

I'll have a look at the source codes to see, what can be done in this regards.

Cheers,
Martin
