[Insight-users] problems with DICOM reader

[Marc HUERTAS]

Hi,

Thanks...

i've alread tested the DICOM images with MRIConvert and I can view them 
without problems.

I'm using a VTK ray casting module that only works with 8bit unsigned 
images...

I'm moving the images from a linux workstation to a windows one, but this 
shouldn't be a problem, should be?
