<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>I don’t really know anything about the DICOM reader, but you can add readers that exist in VTK to the ParaView GUI will plugins. The ParaView wiki provides guidance on creating a plugin with specific examples for adding readers. Since the reader you want already exists in VTK, you can simply leave out the parts that include the source code for the reader. The plugin should automatically grab it from VTK if it exists.<BR>

I don’t know exactly the logic for choosing which readers in VTK are exposed in ParaView. Given enough interest and a sufficiently stable reader (i.e. minimal support necessary), I expect Kitware would be willing to add DICOM to that list.<BR>

(Sorry for the flurry of emails here, but I've just finished leading a training course in ParaView and a few interesting questions came up... Figured separating them out makes them easier to following in threads). <BR>
