[Insight-users] Re: Seamless VTK-ITK pipeline connection

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Theodore,

Yes, the vtkKWImageIO class can read DICOM Series.

Please look at the methods:

  void SetDirectory( const std::string & directory );
  void ReadImageSeries();

When you pass the filename of a DICOM slice to this
class, and then call ReadImageSeries(), the classs
will find the series of the DICOM file, and collect
all other slices of the same series from that directory.


   Regards,


       Luis
