[Insight-users] Writting DICOM Images

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Rodolfo,

	You have 12 days left ! My suggestions would be then:

1. Use MetaImageIO instead,

2. Pass back the MetaData dictionary to GDCMImageIO. Or one that you 
construct at run time,

3. If you really want DICOM. Then build ITK CVS in an exotic path. Then 
change your current program to output MetaImage. Then with ITK CVS, use 
one of the IO example to convert a MetaImage to DICOM...

Good luck
Mathieu
