[Insight-users] How to write Volume Data into DICOM Images?

[Karthik Krishnan]

Hi Jimmy,

If I am not mistaken, the dictionary array (or the dictionary) do not
get propagated down the pipeline. You have to keep an instance of the
dictionary around and later set that dictionary to the writer.

So if you had 

SeriesReader  --->  Filter   ---> SeriesWriter

I think you have to keep an instance of the seriesReader's dictionary
array or copy it and set it to the seriesWriter later.
