gdcmviewer will try to read your file, and then print the vtk information associated with this file. Basically what kind of image you are looking at.
•ScalarType is the DICOM Real World Value
type
•Dimensions is the dimension of the image
•Spacing is the spacing of the image
•NumberOfScalarComponents should be 1 for
