Hi,

In patient skull dicom data, there are 3 types of information, axial, coronal, saggital. I want to split these 3 types of image separately. How to do that using ITK?

You should try to use the code in [this example](https://itk.org/ITKExamples/src/IO/GDCM/ReadDICOMSeriesAndWrite3DImage/Documentation.html) (both C++ and Python code available. It calls `SetUseSeriesDetails(True)` which should do what you want.
