<font><font face="verdana,sans-serif">You are right about no drag and drop for VTK. However, most of us use Qt for UI - it combines quite well with VTK. If you are familiar with Qt it is easy. If you are not, stick with what you know.<br>

<div class="im HOEnZb"><div>Hello Dženan,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you for your response. I will consider your points. Right now I am more inclined towards creating UI using WPF SlimDX. Because creating UI will be much faster I believe. But I am planning to try ITK+VTK also to see its advantages, from my understanding VTK UI development will be more time consuming, due to learning curve and there is no drag and drop options to create the UI. Please correct me if I am wrong.</div>

<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>
