[Insight-users] Reading DICOM using GDCM reader

[SMRITI RAGHUNATHAN]

Hi,
 I actually have two questions:

1) If I try to read DICOM files using DicomSeriesReadImageWrite2.cxx which uses the GDCM reader, then if I let the commands in the CMakeLists file be

IF(USE_GDCM)
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${GDCM_INCLUDE_DIR})
ADD_EXECUTABLE(DicomSeriesReadImageWrite2 DicomSeriesReadImageWrite2.cxx)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(DicomSeriesReadImageWrite2 ITKCommon ITKIO)
ENDIF(USE_GDCM)

then after configuring my file it doesn't create a .dsw or .dsp file for DicomSeriesReadImageWrite2 

However, if I remove the statements IF(USE_GDCM) and ENDIF(USE_GDCM), then the .dsw file is created but now it doesn't compile because it can't find the gdcmHeader.h file

Any ideas as to how I can solve this problem or what i might be doing wrong. I know the IF command in the CMakeLists is necessary but then I get to nowhere



2)If i use the DICOMImageIO2.h, then I can read the stack of images but I can't seem to write them to a file. It gives me the error

ImageFileWriter<012E6420>: No ImageIO set, or none could be created

I think this may be because I am not giving the correct extension for the output file. But i am not sure what extension to give, I have tried .raw,.png

Thanks
