[Insight-users] Wrong NIFTI orientation after conversion from DICOM

[Mathieu Malaterre]

[Sorry for top posting]

Hi Martin,

   Yes your conclusion is correct. GDCM does not support the new 
Enhanced MR Image IOD. Looking at the tags manually in the DICOM header 
I can see that the orientation is in fact:

| D 0020|0037 [DS] [Image Orientation (Patient)] 
[0.01604138687252\0.99942564964294\-0.0298495516180\0.00604549376294\-0.0299497954547\-0.9995331168174 
]

Could you please try to set the orientation manually on the itk::Image 
and try again ?

Thanks
Mathieu
BTW the pixel spacing is:
| D 0028|0030 [DS] 
[Pixel Spacing] [0.83333331346511\0.83333331346511 ]
