Dear all,

I was add some DICOM attribute in my image as picture attached.

Do you know how to save it in image.

Because when I try export image, then I open again, all the DICOM attribute was lost.

Thank you.

The attributes shown in the data module are save/restored in the mrml scene (Slicer’s document format). To modify the dicom you can see this documentation:
