[Insight-users] Experts Opinion

[Dženan Zukić]

ITK relies on GDCM<http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/software/public/Gdcm/Main.html>to
read DICOM files. Instead of ITK, you could use GDCM directly.

Unless you need something other than 2D and 3D visualization (such as
audio, video playback etc), I would go with ITK+VTK. There is some
redundancy and an occasional problem, but they cooperate easier than, let's
say, ITK+OSG.
