Marisa,
   You can do it in vtk[1], but if you really only have one such image, you
can use a free tool like Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com/) to convert it 
to BMP or JPEG, and use vtk's vtkBMPReader or vtkJPEGReader to read it.

   In either case, you'll need to know the dimensions of the image.

    ...
    vtkImageReader reader
    reader SetDataByteOrderToLittleEndian
    reader SetDataExtent 0 63 0 63 1 93
    reader SetFilePrefix "$VTK_DATA_ROOT/Data/headsq/quarter"
    reader SetDataMask 0x7fff
    ...
