[ITK-users] Getting slice thickness of a CT image

[Jon Haitz Legarreta]

Hi Pietro,
you can have a look at this example [1].

On the other hand, if you are dealing with at DICOM dataset, the tag that
stores the slice thickness information is 0018 | 0050 [2].

In section 7.12.3 of the ITK SW Guide [3] you may find some additional
example about how to get the information of the DICOM tags. Basically, ITK
uses a library called GDCM to handle DICOM files, and by creating the
appropriate GDCM objects, you'll be able to retrieve the value of any DICOM
tag.

HTH,
JON HAITZ
