 * \brief   Useless function, since PixelReadConverter forces us 
 *          copy the Pixels anyway.  
 *          Reads the pixels from disk (uncompress if necessary),
 *          Transforms YBR pixels, if any, into RGB pixels
 *          Transforms 3 planes R, G, B, if any, into a single RGB Plane
 *          Transforms single Grey plane + 3 Palettes into a RGB Plane   
 *          Copies at most MaxSize bytes of pixel data to caller allocated
 *          memory space.
 * \warning This function allows people that want to build a volume
 *          from an image stack *not to* have, first to get the image pixels, 
 *          and then move them to the volume area.
 *          It's absolutely useless for any VTK user since vtk chooses 
 *          to invert the lines of an image, that is the last line comes first
 *          (for some axis related reasons?). Hence he will have 
 *          to load the image line by line, starting from the end.
 *          VTK users have to call GetImageData
 *     
 * @param   destination Address (in caller's memory space) at which the
 *          pixel data should be copied
 * @param   maxSize Maximum number of bytes to be copied. When MaxSize
 *          is not sufficient to hold the pixel data the copy is not
 *          executed (i.e. no partial copy).
 * @return  On success, the number of bytes actually copied. Zero on
 *          failure e.g. MaxSize is lower than necessary.

/* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be moved to User's guide / WIKI  ?

We have to deal with 4 *very* different cases :
-1) user created ex nihilo his own image and wants to write it as a Dicom image.
    USER_OWN_IMAGE
-2) user modified the pixels of an existing image.
   FILTERED_IMAGE
-3) user created a new image, using a set of existing images (eg MIP, MPR, cartography image)
   CREATED_IMAGE
-4) user modified/added some tags *without processing* the pixels (anonymization...)
   UNMODIFIED_PIXELS_IMAGE
-Probabely some more to be added.
 
gdcm::FileHelper::CheckMandatoryElements() deals automatically with these cases.

1)2)3)4)
0008 0012 Instance Creation Date
0008 0013 Instance Creation Time
0008 0018 SOP Instance UID
are *always* created with the current values; user has *no* possible intervention on
them.

'Serie Instance UID'(0x0020,0x000e)
'Study Instance UID'(0x0020,0x000d) are kept as is if already exist,
                                    created  if it doesn't.
 The user is allowed to create his own Series/Studies, 
     keeping the same 'Serie Instance UID' / 'Study Instance UID' for various images
 Warning :     
 The user shouldn't add any image to a 'Manufacturer Serie'
     but there is no way no to allow him to do that
     
 None of the 'shadow elements' are droped out.
     

1)
'Conversion Type (0x0008,0x0064) is forced to 'SYN' (Synthetic Image).
 
1)3)
'Media Storage SOP Class UID' (0x0002,0x0002)
'SOP Class UID'               (0x0008,0x0016) are set to 
                                               [Secondary Capture Image Storage]
'Image Type'                  (0x0008,0x0008) is forced to  "DERIVED\PRIMARY"
Conversion Type               (0x0008,0x0064) is forced to 'SYN' (Synthetic Image)

2)4)
If 'SOP Class UID' exists in the native image  ('true DICOM' image)
    we create the 'Source Image Sequence' SeqEntry (0x0008, 0x2112)    
    --> 'Referenced SOP Class UID' (0x0008, 0x1150)
         whose value is the original 'SOP Class UID'
    --> 'Referenced SOP Instance UID' (0x0008, 0x1155)
         whose value is the original 'SOP Class UID'

3) TODO : find a trick to allow user to pass to the writter the list of the Dicom images 
          or the Series, (or the Study ?) he used to created his image 
          (MIP, MPR, cartography image, ...)
           These info should be stored (?)
          0008 1110 SQ 1 Referenced Study Sequence
          0008 1115 SQ 1 Referenced Series Sequence
          0008 1140 SQ 1 Referenced Image Sequence
       
4) When user *knows* he didn't modified the pixels, we keep some informations unchanged :
'Media Storage SOP Class UID' (0x0002,0x0002)
'SOP Class UID'               (0x0008,0x0016)
'Image Type'                  (0x0008,0x0008)
'Conversion Type'             (0x0008,0x0064)

--> Bits Stored, Bits Allocated, Hight Bit Position are checked for consistency
--> Pixel Spacing     (0x0028,0x0030) is defaulted to "1.0\1.0"
--> Samples Per Pixel (0x0028,0x0002) is defaulted to 1 (grayscale)

--> Imager Pixel Spacing (0x0018,0x1164) : defaulted to Pixel Spacing value

--> Instance Creation Date, Instance Creation Time are forced to current Date and Time

--> Study Date, Study Time are defaulted to current Date and Time
   (they remain unchanged if they exist)

--> Patient Orientation : (0x0020,0x0020), if not present, is deduced from 
    Image Orientation (Patient) : (0020|0037) or from
