[Insight-users] [Insight-developers] Incorrect origin and spacing when converting DICOM to metaimage

Hi Norman,

    Thanks for the suggestion. I also tried DCMTK but it does not work.
There are a lot of errors relating svd calculations. I think it has some
issues when computing the orientation matrix.

   Supprisingly, when I tried to link with ITK-3.20.1, the meta image has
the correct orientation and spacing. I don't know why ITK v4 or the newer
version of GDCM in it causes this problem.

Thanks,
Mengda
