[Insight-users] Read Write Dicom Image

[Andreas Hahn]

Hi Mathieu!

I use ITK 3.10.2.
I got an error which may be related to the GDCM bug you described:

My error occurs when i try to write a DICOM series after i loaded,  
applied a filter on it and made some changes in only the following  
DICOM values:

std::string entrySeriesUID("0020|000e"); //Series UID
std::string entryStudy( "0008|1030" ); //Study Description
std::string entrySeries( "0008|103e" ); //Series Description
std::string entryProtocol( "0018|1030" ); //Protocol Type

The error message (don't mind about the change in my namespace):
Exception thrown while writing the series

itk3102::ExceptionObject (0xa90d60)
Location: "void  
itk3102 
::ImageBase<VImageDimension>::ComputeIndexToPhysicalPointMatrices()  
[with unsigned int VImageDimension = 2u]"
File: ./ITK3102/Code/Common/itkImageBase.txx
Line: 188
Description: itk3102::ERROR: Image(0xa8fd00): Bad direction,  
determinant is 0. Direction is 1 0
0 0

The DICOM pairs of origin and direction:
0020|0032 = -176.00362324715\31.713768005371\198
0020|0037 = 1\0\0\0\0\-1


Do you think the error is caused by the GDCM bug?
If yes: How can i fix it?
If no: What did i do wrong? There was at least one series where my  
code worked with.
