[Insight-users] Cannot read DICOM file series : They are not DICOM !

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Luca,


      The files in

              http://nova.nlm.nih.gov/data/


     are  *NOT* DICOM files they are just RAW data slices.



Please read the README files that are in each one of the datasets.


One easy way to read this data is by creating MetaImage headers
that refer to the list of raw file slices.


Please find attached the MetaImage header for the Tooth and Knee
datasets.



   Regards,


       Luis
