[Insight-users] How to read a stack of DICOM images?

[Jolinda Smith]

Hi Sven,

The easiest thing to do is write a metaimage header for your DICOM
series. You can do this using the MetaImageImporter example in the
applications package, or you can use my program MRIConvert
(http://lcni.uoregon.edu/~jolinda/MRIConvert). Then just read the file
with itk::ImageFileReader->SetFileName("MyMetaimage.mhd").
