Hi Luca,

	/home/luca/devel/vtkITK/Colon does not seems to contains any DICOM 
files. Please make sure you extracted the zip file in the proper 
directory. As a side note do not use:

   AddSeriesRestriction("0008|0021" )

	Since those files do not even contains this tag this will add an 
overhead and confuse the user on why you are using it.
