Hi Matteo,

> I would be interested to know the dimension of my .dicom file

Another possibility is the Bio-Formats library. See e.g. this macro:

https://github.com/openmicroscopy/bioformats/blob/v5.0.5/components/bio-formats-plugins/utils/macros/basicMetadata.txt

Bio-Formats is included with the Fiji distribution of ImageJ:
