[vtkusers] vtkImageReader, dicom2 and DICOM headers.

[Marcel van Straten]

Hi all,

today I realised the following:

vtkImageReader computes the headersize for each z-slice for a given
dataextent and filesize as parameters. So if your data inside the
dicom-files is uncompressed 16 bit you can read them directly with
vtkImageReader and you don't need the tool dicom2 (from S.Barre) to extract
the raw data.

Maybe everybody uses vtkImageReader this way already to read Dicom files
(with headers) but for me it's new!

Kind regards,

Marcel van Straten.
