Dear Yang,

You can read the dicom files with itkSeriesReader, apply the all the filters you want in order to resample or smooth the images and transform them to vtk with itkImageToVTKImageFilter.

Dear Yang,
to my knowledge, there is no ITK filter that allows for a direct transformation.
A workaround may be using VTK, which has a DICOM reader and an STL writer. You would basically need to follow this workflow:

1. vtkDICOMImageReader (read DICOM image)
2. vtkContourFilter (extract isocontour to produce a mesh)
3. vtkSTLWriter (write mesh in STL file format)

I guess you could also use the ITK reader, then transform it into a VTK image and then write it with the aforementioned VTK writer.

I think 3D Slicer allows for such a conversion in case you don't wnat to spend time in doing it yourself.

Best regards,
JON HAITZ

Dear Users,

Is it possible to convert DICOM to STL by ITK?

Thanks,
Yang
