<font><font face="verdana,sans-serif">ITK relies on <a href="http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/software/public/Gdcm/Main.html">GDCM</a> to read DICOM files. Instead of ITK, you could use GDCM directly.</font></font><div><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif"><br>

<div>Hello,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am a newbie to ITK. I am in the research phase to decide on what technologies to use for my requirements.</div>
<div>Hope this is a correct place to ask these questions, if not please let me know a correct forum to ask these questions.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My requirement is: </div>
<div>1. Read Dicom files</div>
<div>2. Display Dicom image/series in an UI</div>
<div>3. Customizable UI to use the Dicom images and get input from UI. Save the UI settings etc.</div>
<div>4. Software is for Windows OS, preferably for other OS's also, </div>
<div> </div>
<div>To do the above requirements, I found following ways that are possible:</div>
<div>1. SlimDX and ITK</div>
<div>2. VTK and ITK</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My question is:</div>
<div>Can I use SlimDX API's to display Dicom images without ITK? or I have to use ITK to get the Dicom info. From my understanding Dicom can be read using ITK only, am I correct?</div>
<div>Which is better VTK and ITK or SlimDX and ITK, or there is a better option than this?</div>
<div>Are there any resources in the web that can help me make a good decision?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Your advise on this is greatly appreciated.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Santhosh.</div>
