[ITK-users] ITK dicom reader wrong spacing

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Aiert,

VolView uses a different, custom method for loading DICOM series than
ITK-SNAP and Slicer.

Spacing in DICOM is tricky -- spacing and spacing-like information is
specified in many different tags. To find the tag that you are looking
for gdcmdump and similar tools can be used to inspect the tags.

HTH,
Matt

However, Volview loads the DICOM series properly. Do you know the difference among those programs when they load DICOM Series? all the programs are based in ITK.
