Hello，friends,  
I am studying deep learning,I need to change the dicom images into the same position.  
how to transform sagittal DICOM to axial DICOM？

as you see,the default position is sagittal,when I load it into slicer ,it can show axial,but when I use Creat a DICOM series module to creat a new dicom series ,it is still Sagittal position.

You can use the Orient Scalar Volume module for that.

Great! Thank you very much,Mr. Pieper,it works.

Another question is how I can get the python code,I want to write it into my python scripts,as a part of pretreatments for batch.

The script repository is a good place to get ideas.

Although a lot of the training materials are for slightly older versions, they are still valid for understanding how Slicer works and ways to address tasks via programming:
