[Insight-users] ITK DICOM series reading

[Saurabh Garg]

Hi,

You are mixing c type strings with c++ strings. This might be the issue.
Just a thought, replace this line
nameGenerator->SetDirectory( dirName.toStdString().c_str());
with
nameGenerator->SetInputDirectory( dirName.toStdString().c_str());

HTH,
Saurabh
