[Dcmlib] GetPatSliceOrient(gdcm::File &h) (BIS)

[Luca Picello]

Hi JP,
I believe I wrote my code exactly as you suggest to do.
And I believe it happens exactly what you describe (images are ignored).
Here we can open another parenthesis on how to choose the right slices 
to build the volume ;-)
the anonimized dataset can be downloaded at 
http://www.surgisystems.com/ST1.zip [about 40 megabytes]

cya,
Luca
