[Insight-users] Reading 4D images from Dicom files, in a generic manner

[Mathieu Malaterre]

What I am trying to say is: This is easy to order MR Image Storage /
CT Image Storage in the case of a 4D cardiac acquisition.
However you will not be able to order Secondary Capture Image Storage,
you may not be able to order MR Image Storage that represent a DWI/DTI
series...

DICOM does not defines "4D data" as ITK expect, but only Multiframe
Series. So the best we can do it map those in the rare case when they
are identical.

How are you planning to send the data ? If this is patient data,
special care is required to redistribute it.

thanks for your offer !
