[vtkusers] the use of vtkDicomImageReader.

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Yasser,

	[Thanks for changing your ML adress ;)]

	Here is a simple C++ code(*) that use SetDirectoryName(). I suggest you 
use a tool like 'DicomWorks'(**) to sort the file in directories & 
subdir like this:

DICOMDIR/
	/study
		/serie

Then all you have to do is choose a *serie* dir (and not the top dir or 
the study dir).
Also please note that you should remove all 'README' files, only pure 
DICOM files, otherwise it's not sure to works.
