[Insight-users] Re: DICOM image set loader and documentation for applications

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Christof,


1) Unfortunately not all the demo applications
    in InsightApplications have a corresponding
    HTML page under

      http://www . itk . org/HTML/Applications . htm

    You will find documentation about the
    Gaussian classifier in the Software Guide

      http://www . itk . org/ItkSoftwareGuide . pdf

    Please look at Section 10.3, pdf-page 463.


2) Yes, you can load DICOM images (and form
    volumes with them) using the classes

      - DICOMSeriesFileNames
      - ImageSeriesReader
      - DICOMImageIO2

    The output of the ImageSeriesReader will
    be an itk::Image, that take into account
    the origin and spacing of the DICOM files.

    It will *NOT* take into account the orientation
    specified in the DICOM header though.

    If necessary you could use the registration
    framework for aligning two of such volumes.




   Regards,


     Luis
