[IGSTK-Users] Read DICOM Metadata /DICOMDIR

[Patrick Cheng]

Hi Javier,

Thank you for your interest in IGSTK. We have a class called 
GenericImageReader in the sandbox but not quite ready yet. I will let 
you know as soon as we finish it.

This GenericImageReader is based on vtkKWImageIO class
http://www.insight-journal.org/browse/publication/146

This class uses itkGDCMImageIO. Through this new class, users should be 
able to read all modality of DICOM images and have access to the ITK and 
VTK image data after reading.

Thank you,

Patrick
