[vtkusers] DICOM into vtkStructuredPoints

[Łukasz Tutaj]

Hi Joshua.

    If you want to know everything about DICOM format you should visit 
this websit http://medical.nema.org. In few words  it is Digital Imaging 
and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard for distributing and 
viewing any kind of medical image. In VTK there is a special class for 
reading DICOM files called vtkDICOMImageReader. It is very simple but i 
hope in future it will be developed. However using this class you can 
import data from one or more DICOM files nad then visualize it in way 
you want.

Regards
Łukasz
