    "**Summary:**    \n",
    "\n",
    "1. Images occupy a region in physical space which is defined by:\n",
    "  * Origin.\n",
    "  * Size (number of pixels per dimension).\n",
    "  * Spacing (unknown consistent units: nm, mm, m, km...).\n",
    "  * Direction cosine matrix (axis directions in physical space).\n",
    "  \n",
    "  These attributes are the image's meta-data. Computing the physical coordinates from image indexes requires all four   components.\n",
    "\n",
    "2. An image may contain a meta-data dictionary. This supplemental information often includes the image modality (e.g. CT), patient name, and information with respect to the image acquisition. \n",
    "3. Image initialization: user specified pixel type, user specified dimensionality (2,3), origin at zero, unit spacing in all dimensions and identity direction cosine matrix, intensities set to zero.\n",
    "4. Data transfer to/from numpy: GetArrayFromImage (copy), GetArrayViewFromImage (immutable), GetImageFromArray (copy) + set the meta-data yourself. \n",
    "5. A common issue with resampling resulting in an all black image is due to (a) incorrect specification of the \n",
    "desired output image's spatial domain (its meta-data); or (b) the use of the inverse of the transformation mapping from the output spatial domain to the resampled image."

    "\n",
    "SimpleITK can read and write images stored in a single file, or a set of files (e.g. DICOM series). The toolkit provides both an object oriented and a procedural interface. The primary difference being that the object oriented approach provides more control while the procedural interface is more convenient.\n",
    "\n",
    "We look at DICOM images as an example illustrating this difference. Images stored in the DICOM format have a meta-data dictionary associated with them, which is populated with the DICOM tags. When a DICOM image series is read as a single image volume, the resulting image's meta-data dictionary is not populated since DICOM tags are specific to each of the files in the series. If you use the procedural method for reading the series then you do not have access to the set of meta-data dictionaries associated with each of the files. To obtain each dictionary you will have to access each of the files separately. On the other hand, if you use the object oriented interface, the set of dictionaries will be accessible from the ```ImageSeriesReader``` which you used to read the DICOM series. The meta-data dictionary for each file is available using the <a href=\"https://itk.org/SimpleITKDoxygen/html/classitk_1_1simple_1_1ImageSeriesReader.html#a337b19b6bc101f5571455afb46514b6d\">HasMetaDataKey</a> and <a href=\"https://itk.org/SimpleITKDoxygen/html/classitk_1_1simple_1_1ImageSeriesReader.html#a19995f33b86c60e2ae4878cb4d8c30ee\">GetMetaData</a> methods. \n",

The later is used to interpolate labeled images representing a segmentation, it is the only interpolation approach which will not introduce new labels into the result.\n",
