[Insight-users] DICOM Volumes in ITK

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Dhananjav,

Support for reading DICOM files in ITK
is currently under development. So this
functionality will be available soon.

In the meantime there are several ways
in which you can read an image file into
ITK. The one I'm most familiar with is
the MetaImage format. This is basically
a combination of a raw binary file with
the pixel data and a text header file
with the description of the image (things
like slice spacing, number of pixels..
and so on).

That will require however that you pack
the individual slices into a single raw
volume. If your DICOM files are well-behaved
that could be relatively easy. Things can
be harder if the sequence of slices is not
naturally ordered.

Details about ITK and ImageFile formats
can be found at:
