[Insight-users] convert dicom data to vtk data?

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Zhuo,


You can convert a series of Dicom files to a VTK
volume by creating a small text header file called
a MetaImage header.

This file contains information about the image
size, spacing, origin, endiannes, pixel type
and can include a list of the filenames of dicom
files containing the slices.

You can create a MetaImage file by using the
application: MetaImageImporter, available in
the InsightApplication module.

Then you can modify the simple example in
Image/Examples/IO/ImageReadWrite.cxx

Just change the image dimension from 2 to 3.

finally run it like

ImageReadWrite myDicomMetaImageHeader.txt  image.vtk

It will write your dicom data into a VTK image file.


Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks


Luis
