[Insight-users] problems with DICOM reader

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Marc,

Thanks for the clarification,

A saturation leads to suspect of a
conflict with the endianness of the
image.  Are you moving the images
from PCs to Sun or Macs for example ?

What are you using for viewing the
.vtk images ?

Please check first that you can view
the original DICOM images using
MRIConvert or VolView.


Regards,


   Luis
