How to fuse two sets of dicomimages with different orientation?

I'm trying to fuse to sets of dicom images (PET and MRI) which are created seperatley, but there is a problem with the orientation.

The PET data has a transverse orientation with the next variables in the dicom header:

ImagePositionPatient = [-1.275859380000000e+02;-72.585938000000000;1.499500000000000e+03] and ImageOrientationPatient =[1;0;0;0;1;0]

The MRI data has a sagittal orientation with the next variables in the dicom header:

ImagePositionPatient = [6.599983215332030;-1.391108455657900e+02;1.242374577522270e+02] and ImageOrientationPatient = [0;1;0;0;0;-1]

I can adjust the orientation of my images in matlab, but fusion still won't work because of the orientation in the dicom header, does anybody know how to adjust the dicomheader to make a truly transverse data set of my MRI images?

I am not sure if you are still looking for the solution. Nevertheless, this tool (https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/53745-medical-image-reader-and-viewer) does the trick :) Thanks to Josh!
