+gdcm::FileHelper::CheckMandatoryElements() deals automatically with these cases.

+'Serie Instance UID'(0x0020,0x000e)
+'Study Instance UID'(0x0020,0x000d) are kept as is if already exist,

+ The user is allowed to create his own Series/Studies,
+ keeping the same 'Serie Instance UID' / 'Study Instance UID' for various images
+ Warning :
+ The user shouldn't add any image to a 'Manufacturer Serie'
+ but there is no way no to allow him to do that
+
+ None of the 'shadow elements' are droped out.

+If 'SOP Class UID' exists in the native image ('true DICOM' image)
+ we create the 'Source Image Sequence' SeqEntry (0x0008, 0x2112)

+ whose value is the original 'SOP Class UID'

+
+3) TO DO : find a trick to allow user to pass to the writter the list of the Dicom images
+ or the Series, (or the Study ?) he used to created his image
+ (MIP, MPR, cartography image, ...)
+ These info should be stored (?)
+ 0008 1110 SQ 1 Referenced Study Sequence
+ 0008 1115 SQ 1 Referenced Series Sequence
+ 0008 1140 SQ 1 Referenced Image Sequence
+
+4) When user *knows* he didn't modified the pixels, we keep some informations unchanged :
+'Media Storage SOP Class UID' (0x0002,0x0002)
+'SOP Class UID' (0x0008,0x0016)
+'Image Type' (0x0008,0x0008)
+'Conversion Type' (0x0008,0x0064)

+Bellow follows the full description (hope so !) of the consistency checks performed
+by gdcm::FileHelper::CheckMandatoryElements()
+
+
+-->'Media Storage SOP Class UID' (0x0002,0x0002)
+-->'SOP Class UID' (0x0008,0x0016) are defaulted to
+ [Secondary Capture Image Storage]
+--> 'Image Type' (0x0008,0x0008)
+ is forced to "DERIVED\PRIMARY"
+ (The written image is no longer an 'ORIGINAL' one)
+ Except if user knows he didn't modify the image (e.g. : he just anonymized the file)
+
+ --> Conversion Type (0x0008,0x0064)
+ is defaulted to 'SYN' (Synthetic Image)
+ when *he* knows he created his own image ex nihilo
+
+--> 'Modality' (0x0008,0x0060)
+ is defaulted to "OT" (other) if missing.
+ (a fully user created image belongs to *no* modality)
+
+--> 'Media Storage SOP Instance UID' (0x0002,0x0003)
+--> 'Implementation Class UID' (0x0002,0x0012)
+ are automatically generated; no user intervention possible
+
+--> 'Serie Instance UID'(0x0020,0x000e)
+--> 'Study Instance UID'(0x0020,0x000d) are kept as is if already exist
+ created if it doesn't.
+ The user is allowed to create his own Series/Studies,
+ keeping the same 'Serie Instance UID' / 'Study Instance UID'
+ for various images
+ Warning :
+ The user shouldn't add any image to a 'Manufacturer Serie'
+ but there is no way no to allowed him to do that
+
+--> If 'SOP Class UID' exists in the native image ('true DICOM' image)
+ we create the 'Source Image Sequence' SeqEntry (0x0008, 0x2112)
+
+ --> 'Referenced SOP Class UID' (0x0008, 0x1150)
+ whose value is the original 'SOP Class UID'
+ --> 'Referenced SOP Instance UID' (0x0008, 0x1155)
+ whose value is the original 'SOP Class UID'
+
+--> Bits Stored, Bits Allocated, Hight Bit Position are checked for consistency
+--> Pixel Spacing (0x0028,0x0030) is defaulted to "1.0\1.0"
+--> Samples Per Pixel (0x0028,0x0002) is defaulted to 1 (grayscale)
+
+--> Imager Pixel Spacing (0x0018,0x1164) : defaulted to Pixel Spacing value
+
+--> Instance Creation Date, Instance Creation Time are forced to current Date and Time
+
+--> Study Date, Study Time are defaulted to current Date and Time
+ (they remain unchanged if they exist)
+
+--> Patient Orientation : (0x0020,0x0020), if not present, is deduced from
+ Image Orientation (Patient) : (0020|0037) or from
+ Image Orientation (RET) : (0020 0035)
+
+--> Study ID, Series Number, Instance Number, Patient Orientation (Type 2)
+ are created, with empty value if there are missing.
+
+--> Manufacturer, Institution Name, Patient's Name, (Type 2)
+ are defaulted with a 'gdcm' value.
+
+--> Patient ID, Patient's Birth Date, Patient's Sex, (Type 2)
+--> Referring Physician's Name (Type 2)
+ are created, with empty value if there are missing.
