the ideal solution would be indeed that a conf file would indicate
what is the root UID being used. GDCM has one, DCMTK has one. David
Clunie (author of dicom3tools) has one, SIEMENS, GE, Philips, my
actual company.
the problem is for one time user, converting a MINC file to DICOM. Any
larger organisation would have there own UID, but would need to
-painfully- recompile dicom3tools.
