[Insight-users] DICOMDIR + ITK

[Daniel Blezek]

DCMTK will read DICOMDIR files.  Basically, a DICOMDIR is just an index of a
bunch of DICOM files to save software the hassle of opening each file in
turn.  Since cracking a DICOM header is very inexpensive with the right
software, DICOMDIR files are not that interesting any more.

Your best bet is to use GDCMSeriesFileNames on each _series_ directory.
Won't help much at the study level.

There are few, if any tools to convert DICOM to mha.  You may need to use
ITK for that.

Just $0.02,
