[MINC-users] errors going from DICOM startxyz to MINC startxyz

[Andrew Janke]

Michel,

At a first hack I would use dcm2mnc instead of dicom3_to_minc the code
in there is far more up to date.

Looking at these stls, the vertex coordinates do not coincide with the reasonable world coordinates in the minc file that I'm getting after doing dicom3_to_minc, and resampling with positive xyz. The start x,y,z of the minc volume also bears little resemblance to image position patient (0020-0037) visible under Image Position Patient.
