Check for same image orientation when appending slices

[ivmartel]

When appending slices together, the image orientation must be equal for their geometry to be later compared.

Originates from #462.

We would like to be able to append slices (with the same Accession number and Series number) that have different image orientation, different photometric interpretations, or even different rows/columns. Why they need to be equal for their geometry to be later compared?

We would rather be able to append all the slices together and to show the user the 3D image looking slightly wrong than to display an error message to our users. Thanks for your thoughts on this!

It would be nice to display differing slices rather than error. I know it's more coding work, but better for users if you find the time.

Thanks for this great tool!

@qrst07 @danielsnider were you able to find a solution to this problem? I am having the same issue, i.e. would like to add slices with different orientations and # rows or columns. I am almost thinking about forking the component and removing the explicit error check. The author @ivmartel at least an answer would be great.
