[vtkusers] how to use dicom file in vtk?

[kingaza at gmail.com]

and one more question:
when debugging the values of the reader
DirectoryName = "E:\myhead"
but 
PatientName = 0x00000000
StudyUID = 0x00000000
StudyID = 0x00000000
TransferSyntaxUID = 0x00000000

so i think i have not finished the work to read dicom files


regrads,
kingaza
