rescale intercept and slope from the metadata for Nifti files

Does ITK/SimpleITK automatically cater for the HU by using rescale intercept and slope from the metadata for Nifti files, as it does for dicom files (source)? If it doesn't how can I read the metadata in python 3.4? I went through this class however I can't seem to access the ReadImageInformation() function.

Judging by the source code, slope/intercept rescaling is done automatically.
