Dear mitk-users,

I want to announce an enhancement of DicomSeriesReader, which comes with 
a minor interface change. The change was integrated this morning.

I enhanced the class to handle basic loading of images of type CR 
(Computed Radiography), NM (Nuclear Medicine), and OT (Secondary 
Capture). Since some of these images do not provide image positions or 
pixel spacing (or different types of spacing), the reader needed to 
accept much more missing information. In the result, the 
caller/application needs a way to know how to interpret the generated 
pixel spacing (communicated through mitk::Properties during loading).

To support applications in choosing what to actually load and what not, 
a change to

DicomSeriesReader::GetSeries(..)

was necessary. This method now returns not only sets of files but more 
information regarding the grouped files. Most importantly

  - is the pixel spacing known or filled from defaults?
  - is the modality loaded actually supported by the class?

If you use DicomSeriesReader, you should check the updated documentation 
from the header or Doxygen (available tomorrow).

You are welcome to test loading the newly supported image types and 
report any issues. Currently known restrictions are:

  - NM multi-frame images are NOT loaded
  - Secondary Capture with PALETTE colors are loaded with gray colors

Kind regards,
Daniel
