[Insight-users] GDCM

[Erik Anderson]

I have also found that reading in DICOM sets with more than one 
serie/sequence in them is impossible.  While the first serie/sequence 
read in is fine, the second and third get appended to it.  To solve my 
problem I separate the sequences as a pre-process before trying to read 
in anything with ITK.  It works for now.
