[vtkusers] Can I read the dicom files in vtk using the implem ented classes in Slicer?

[Day, Robert]

I too use Sébastien's dicom2 and it is a great tool.

However, recently on the ImageJ mailing list someone asked about renaming
DICOM files.  I suggested dicom2, but he was using MacOs X, for which a
binary does not exist.  This leads me to ponder whether more portable DICOM
handling could become a part of vtk.  Certainly it would be a non-trivial
task, given the size and ever-expanding nature of the DICOM standard.

As ever, I am not in a position to do the work myself at the moment, but
perhaps Sébastien is willing to make his source available, which would
certainly make the task easier.

Any comments ?

Rob.
