[Insight-users] Re: Dicom processing

[Stephen R. Aylward]

Hi All,

Martin Styner has a great solution to creating 3D files from dicom 
slices.   His email...

"In regard to the dicom lib, I currently use (x)medcon, which is cross 
platform and opensource (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmedcon). In 
the (x)medcon extras there is a 'volumestack' program which uses the 
xmedcon libs and creates out of a set of 2D dicom slices a 3D volume 
(you can write then either as DICOM 3D or as Analyze etc)
maybe xmedcon would be a candidate
best wishes from Bern
Martin"

I haven't had a chance to try this...but it sounds interesting!
