[Insight-users] DICOM volume problem

[Henkjan Huisman]

Hi Mathieu,

I am definitely using VTK and DCMTK. Gdcm seems very interesting!
However, that won't solve the problem of NOT being able to receive these
DCM objects with DCMTK. Will CTN be able to receive these objects from
the radiology archive? Have you used that?

Thanks for the help,

Henkjan
