[Insight-users] how to read multilayer DICOM

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Yao,

  Could you please send us the code you used to try to read the DICOM
file ? In your email you are talking about some lenght and block data,
please specify section of the ITK Software Guide you are referring to,
this will help us a lot.

  All you need to do is the very usual ITK code:


  typedef signed short    PixelType;
  const unsigned int      Dimension = 3;

  typedef itk::Image< PixelType, Dimension >      ImageType;
  typedef itk::ImageFileReader< ImageType >       ReaderType;

  ReaderType::Pointer reader = ReaderType::New();

  reader->SetFileName( argv[1] );

  try
    {
    reader->Update();
    }
  catch (itk::ExceptionObject &excp)
    {
    std::cerr << "Exception thrown while writing the image" << std::endl;
    std::cerr << excp << std::endl;
    return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

HTH
-Mathieu
