[ITK Community] Exception caught from itkImageFileReader.hxx

[Jon Haitz Legarreta]

Dear Ruturaj,
in order to read a single DICOM file using the iktImageFileReader, you
should use the itk::GDCMImageIO AFAIK, as in this [1] example.

For TIFF images, you'd generally use the itk::TIFFImageIO class [2], but I
don't know about specificities of multipage TIFF files.

As for the toolkit you are mentioning, I see that it contains some heavy (I
guess multipage) TIFF files. If the toolkit fails to open them, as you have
the sources, then you may want to debug in order to provide the community
with a deeper report of the problem, or you may want to report the problems
to the authors of the toolkit. If it's able to read them, you may want to
have a look at the sources in order to inspire your own multipage-TIFF file
opening methods.

If the toolkit documentation does not say that it is able to handle DICOM
files, you'd better not to assume it. Or else, if it says so, but does not
provide some own sample files, then it'd be a good idea to suggest it to
the authors.

Kind regards,
JON HAITZ
