[vtkusers] How can I read 8-bits medical images?

[Goodwin Lawlor]

Use vtkImageReader with the SetDataScalarTypeToUnsignedChar flag set.

(eg) for a series of images ct.0, ct.1, ct.2 ... ct.99 with dim 256x256

vtkImageReader reader
    reader SetFilePrefix "c:/data/ct."
    reader SetDataScalarTypeToUnsignedChar
    reader SetDataExtent 0 255 0 255 0 99
    reader SetDataSpacing 1.5 1.5 1.0
    reader SetHeaderSize 3000
    reader SetDataMask 0x7fff
    reader SetDataByteOrderToLittleEndian
