[Insight-users] Changing a DICOM Header... in a DICOM Series

[Martin Kavec]

Stephane,

I was on the same issue two days ago with the same results. The problem is 
that each slice in your input series has unique MetaDataDictionary, so you 
have to change the field you desire in all of them.

I have found in the ITK mailing list archives a post from Bill (I guess) where 
he send attached a file DicomResample which does what you need. Just google 
for DicomResample and the very first reference is what you need.

Regards,

Martin
