[Insight-users] Converting DICOM files into meta image files

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Zein,

The example you need is in

     Insight/Examples/IO

          DicomSeriesReadImageWrite.cxx

It reads a series from a DICOM directory
and saves it in another ITK supported
file format.

You give the DICOM directory as
command line argument.

It will print out all the series
existing in the directory and by
default will read the first one.

You specify the filename in which you
want to save the image.

----


For viewing DICOM files you can use


A) VolView
    http://www.kitware.com/products/volview.html


B) MRIConvert
    http://lcni.uoregon.edu/~jolinda/MRIConvert
    This application allows to save the image
    in Analyze and MetaImage formats.


C) ApplicationModel
    This application is part of a toolkit for
    image guided surgery developed by the ISIS
    center at Georgetown University.
    http://www.igstk.org/
    It combines ITK, VTK and FLTK. You can
    download it as
    cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at public.kitware.com:/
                          cvsroot/IGSTK    login
    (in a single command line)
    password   igstk

    cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at public.kitware.com:/
             cvsroot/IGSTK   co  IGSTK




Regards,


   Luis
