How to remove the overlay information from the dicom file?

[Jian-xiong Wang]

1. OsiriX can display the overlay infor (see figure 1).

2. This can be turned off (see figure 2).

3. When it's turned off, OsiriX will not show the overlay information (see figure 3).

So, OsiriX knows where the overlay informations are located in the dicom file and we should be able to remove these overlay informations from the dicom files by editing it.

Where are those overlay information that we can remove?

Thanks.
