[Insight-users] Re: Changing header dicom!

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Riccio,

What is exactly the problem that you are facing?

According to your email, you changed the DICOM header of an image
and after saving it in DICOM you find that the new file is different 
from the original file.  Isn't that what you expected ? after all,
you just changed the header.

Please be more descriptive with the problem that you are facing.

A minimal piece of source code that demonstrate the problem will
help a lot.


   Thanks


      Luis
