[vtkusers] How do i port an image from ITK to VTK

Ahhh yes, okay. This seems to show something now...But hmmm
This is only a cube full of noise. I know the image is correct, because i
have viewed it in other programs, and it looks correct. So something must
have gone wrong in the conversion.
It should be a brain, but it looks like this:

Any suggestions?
Best of regards, and thank you
