[ITK Community] [Insight-users] Reading some part of DICOM series images???????

[Bradley Lowekamp]

If you connect the Extract to the Reader, and only call the Update on the ExtractImageFilter it should do streamed reading of just the defined region.

But before you can define you region to need to know the largest possible region. You can call the Reader's "UpdateLargestPossibleRegion" method to obtain the size of the whole volume. This will just read the meta-data of the series, and not the actual image data.

This example may be of some help:
